  • Patent number: 4669215
    Abstract: The fish-hook assembly comprises an elongated frame bar to be secured at its rear end to a fishing line. A trigger arm is pivoted at its center to an intermediate section of the bar and is biased by a first tension spring in counterclockwise rotation. A first upwardly-curved hook is pivotally secured to the bottom end of the trigger arm and extends forwardly and is slidably mounted in the front end portion of the frame bar. A second hook is pivotally mounted at the front portion of the frame bar for pivotal action about a plane parallel to that defined by the first hook. A second tension spring biases the second hook in counterclockwise rotation, that is forwardly when rearwardly positioned in set position where it is upwardly curved. The top end of the trigger arm defines a transverse tab engageable in a longitudinal slit made in the second hook for retaining the latter in its set position.
