Abstract:
A fishing lure includes a body support for connection to a line. A first hook is connected to the body support and adapted to be engaged by an object. A second hook is connected to the body support for engaging the object and has an open cocked position and a closed position engaging the object. The second hook pivotally rotates relative to the first hook. A first biasing mechanism biases the second hook toward the first hook. A trip mechanism is connected to the line and engages the second hook for supporting the second hook in the open cocked position and for releasing the second hook to allow the second hook to move toward the closed position in response to engagement by the object with the first hook. A second biasing mechanism adjustably provides a predetermined amount of force on the trip mechanism to release the second hook from the open cocked position for movement toward the closed position to engage the object.
