Abstract: A fishhook with a shank having a first end and a second end, the first end having an eyelet, the second end having a generally u-shaped portion with a pointed distal end. An operable member has a first end that is pivotally connected to the shank adjacent the u-shaped portion of the first hook and includes a distal portion with a pointed end extending toward the fish hook first end. The operable member is pivotal between a first position with the distal portion adjacent to the shank and a second position with the distal portion spaced apart from the shank. In one embodiment, a biasing member urges the distal portion of the operable member toward the shank.
