  • Automatic fishhook
    Patent number: 6497068
    Abstract: A fishhook includes a one-piece monolithic body having two legs that have barbs on the ends thereof and are biased so the barbs move in a common plane while retaining a common orientation with respect to each other. A notch portion on one of two legs abuts a notch portion on the other leg to hold the hook in an armed configuration by abutting engagement and is moved out of abutting engagement to permit a torsion spring to move the legs apart into a triggered configuration.
