  • Publication number: 20220394961
    Abstract: An improved fishing lure is disclosed that includes an integrated hook harness to which one or more hooks may be movably secured. The hooks are maintained in a neutral state by a retention mechanism provided in the harness that may be released when a fish strikes the lures, allowing the hook to move freely relative to the hook harness and lure body. Because the hook is able to move relative to the hook harness and lure body, the weight of the hook harness and lure body do not act directly on the hook and the likelihood of the fish kicking free is substantially decreased.
