Abstract: A fishing tool for composite sucker rod has a four fingered collet. An overshot tube is connected to the top of the fishing tool. The top of the collet has a stack telescoped within a helical spring. A fish deep within a well has a splintered partial joint of composite rod above a metal coupling having a four faced wrench flat. In operation, the splintered joint is telescoped within the overshot and the four fingers engage the four faced wrench flat. The tool is disengaged by rotating the tool 1/8 of a turn to bring the collet fingers over the corners between the flat faces of the wrench flat.
