| Abstract: |
A novel hook assembly forms two hooks at the end of a single elastic length of wire which spreads the hooks elastically apart in a fish hooking posture. This hook forms the active mechanism of a weedless, self setting fishing lure, where the hooks are compressed for retention weedlessly within a hollow lure in one stable position and are released by a tug on the line from a fish bite to spring the hooks apart and set the hooks in the fish. The novel simplified weedless lure array employs a spring biassed dual-hook assembly and latch permitting the two hooks to be cocked into an elastically biased weed free bistable position inside the lure for automatic triggered release by a tug on the fishline to catch a striking fish by snapping the hooks into a second bistable position with the two hooks forced outside the lure into the fish's mouth.
