Abstract: A fishing hook and lure unsnagger is provided for jarring loose a hook or both the hook and lure connected to a fishing line. The unsnagger comprises a weight such as a piece of metal or concrete having an elongated opening extending from one end to the other and being constructed and arranged to slide easily along the line. The opening is of sufficient size and internal smoothness to slide over any existing swivels, knots, sinkers or spinners and the like connected between the line and the hook so that it will strike the hook or fishing lure with sufficient force to jar the hook loose from an underwater object upon which the hook has become inadvertently snagged.
