Abstract: A fishing tackle system can be used to catch fish without the use of any hooks. The system can be used with a fishing pole and fishing line. The system can include a first clip member having a first clipping segment and a second clip member having a second clipping segment. The second clip member can be pivotally coupled with the first clip member about a spring-loaded first pivot axis. The system can include a pivoting member pivotally coupled with the first clip member about a second pivot axis or a post that separates the first and second clip members from each other. The first and second clip members can hold the mouth or lip of the fish when they are closed together. The fish can be released by pinching a first pinching segment and a second pinching segment, thus separating the first and second clipping segments.
