Abstract
A fish hook having the general shape of the letter "C" with an eye at one end and a barbed point at the other end, and spring biased fastening device of fine wire rigidly attached to the eye of the fish hook and having a hook member which engages the shank of the fish hook near the eye to clamp a plastic worm to the fish hook.
Claims20
A solid metal fish hook having a lure attaching device attached thereto, comprising a fish hook with an eye at one end and a sharp point at the other end pointing at a small angle away from said eye and an arcuate shaft joining the two ends, a short length of the shaft at said other end adjoining said point having a generally triangular cross section with the apex of the triangle facing away from said pointed end, a substantial length of said shaft generally medial of said two ends, having a flattened surface facing away from said two ends;
- and a lure attaching device rigidly fastened to said one end and including a spring biased hook removably attachable to said shank adjacent said eye.
A fishing hook comprising a steel shaft bent into a general C-shape with an eye at one end of said shaft and a barbed sharp point at the other end of said shaft;
- said shaft having an outside surface on the convex side of said C, said outside surface being flattened for at least one half of the length of said shaft generally medially of said eye and said point, said outside surface being a sharp edge from said point to a juncture with said flattened portion, a straight line from said eye to the most distant point on said outside surface and a straight line from said most distant point to said sharp point intersecting at an angle of about 5.degree.-15.degree. and extending above said eye when viewed in a side elevation and intersecting at an angle of about 5.degree.-10.degree. and extending to one side or the other of said eye when viewed in a top plan view, and having a wire structure rigidly attached to said hook adjacent said eye, said structure including a spring biased clamping hook which is releaseably attachable to said shank adjacent said eye.
The hook of claim 9 wherein said wire structure comprises a length of fine wire bent to form a helical spring portion intermediate two ends of said wire, one of said ends being rigidly attached to said eye, and the other end bent to form a hook which is adapted to releaseably fit around said shank adjacent said eye.
A fishing hook comprising a steel shaft bent into a general C-shape with an eye at one end of said shaft and a barbed sharp point at the other end of said shaft;
- said shaft having an outside surface on the convex side of said C, said outside surface being flattened for at least one half of the length of said shaft generally medially of said eye and said point, said outside surface being a sharp edge from said point to a juncture with said flattened portion, a straight line from said eye to the most distant point on said outside surface and a straight line from said most distant point to said sharp point intersecting at an angle of about 5.degree.-15.degree. and extending above said eye when viewed in a side elevation and intersecting at an angle of about 5.degree.-10.degree. and extending to one side or the other of said eye when viewed in a top plan view.
A lure attaching device for a fish hook having an eye, a shank, and a point comprising an elongated member having opposite end portions, one of said end portions being rigidly attachable to a fish hook in its eye and adjacent thereto, the other of said end portion being formed into a hook removably attachable to said shank adjacent said eye, said member adjacent said eye including an engaging portion engageable with a plastic worm's head portion after being threaded onto a hook and disposed adjacent said eye frictionally sandwiched between said engaging portion and said shank adjacent adjacent said eye.
