Abstract
A fish lure break away system, having a lure attachment member, a hook section with at least one elongated shank, an eyelet, an eyelet guide, and a least one curved bend terminating in a tip section.

Claims1
A fish lure break away system, comprising:
- a lure attachment member, wherein said lure attachment member comprises a continuous loop structure, said lure attachment member has a predetermined breaking strength and is sufficiently flexible to allow a person to bend said lure attachment member 180° back on itself;
- and
- a hook section, said hook section comprising at least one elongated shank, an eyelet, an eyelet guide, and a least one curved bend,
- wherein said at least one elongated shank has first and second ends,
- wherein said eyelet is a discontinuous loop having first and second ends, the first end of said eyelet is attached to and integral with the first end of said at least one elongated shank, the second end of said eyelet is located proximate to but separate from the first end of said at least one elongated shank with an eyelet gap interposed between the first and second ends of said eyelet,
- wherein said eyelet guide extends from said eyelet, wherein said eyelet guide is located adjacent to said eyelet gap, whereby in normal use said eyelet guide helps guide a portion of said lure attachment member through said eyelet gap to secure said lure attachment member to said hook section,
- wherein said at least one curved bend extends from said second end of said at least one elongated shank, and
- wherein each curved bend terminates in a tip section.
