Anti-snag fishing device

An anti-snag fishing device suitable for attachment to a fishing hook, said fishing hook having a hook eye, a shank, at least one curved hook section and at least one hook point, said anti-snag fishing device comprising:

• a buoyant elongated planar body member which, when fitted to said fishing hook at or near said hook eye, forms an arc by projecting backwardly from at or near said hook eye toward said at least one curved hook section at an acute angle with respect to a plane of the shank, the arc defining a convex surface facing away from the shank, the arc reaching a highest point before said at least one hook point, the arc continues backward passing downwardly by and under said at least one hook point until the arc reaches a termination point at said at least one curved hook section, the termination point corresponding to a point of contact between a slot or hole in the elongated planar body member and the at least one curved hook section, the slot or hole contacting the at least one curved hook section to maintain the arc in position relative to the at least one curved hook section, a portion of the planar body member is to deform when a force is applied to the planar body member towards the shank at the highest point of the arc such that the portion of the planar body member deforms to define a concave surface facing away from the shank, the deformed portion of the planar body member to expose the hook point, at least one feature of said elongated planar body member imitates the appearance of fish prey, and a configuration of the arc of the elongated planar body member enables said anti-snag fishing device to move like fish prey by causing it to dive and at least one of wobble or vibrate from side to side so that said anti-snag fishing device travels in a substantially serpentine path when drawn through water without an angler having to impart the fish-prey-like movement.
