A fishing hook includes a closure arm held under spring tension and configured to enclose a hook gap within the hook when released from spring tension, to prevent a fish from becoming unhooked during retrieval.

A rig unit for a fishing line includes a float body and a ballast mass removably coupled to the float body. The ballast mass and the float body are configured to remain coupled together during a launch phase and a flight, and to separate from each other upon impact with the water at the end of a flight path. During flight, when the float body and the ballast mass are connected together, the rig unit is orientated with the float body arranged in front, and the ballast mass arranged behind it. After separation upon impact with the water, the ballast mass is configured to rest on the seabed. The main line has a first section descending from the fishing rod to a guide passage of the ballast mass, and a second section ascending from the guide passage to the float body, which is able to remain immersed, at a distance from the water surface, with a terminal line extending upwards, starting from the float body, to an auxiliary float with which the hook is associated.

An apparatus including a body portion, having an inner chamber inside the body portion, wherein the body portion has a first end, and an opposing second end. The apparatus may also include a loop located outside of the body portion, and connected to the body portion; and a plurality of holes in the body portion, which lead to the inner chamber. The body portion may have a region including a first wall and a second wall, wherein the first wall abuts against and is in contact with the second wall in a rest state, and wherein when a prying force is applied, the first wall can be separated from the second wall, so that there is a space between at least part of the first wall and at least part of the second wall, so that an item can be inserted through the space and into the inner chamber of the body portion.

A fishing tool may be used for securing a trailer hook or other lure item onto a bait hook. The tool includes a handle with a mounting end positioned therein, wherein the mounting end includes an installation hole that extends through the handle. There is additionally a recessed seat in the hole and around the perimeter of the hole. A plastic disc has an outside diameter that corresponds to the diameter of the installation hole.

The present invention relates to a device for preventing a fish hook from snagging on the bottom, the device comprising: an eye insertion part (100) made from a soft material having an excellent elasticity, such that a hook eye (11) to which a fishing line (20) is tied is inserted therein; a line guide part (110) through which the fishing line (20) passes, and which is made from the same material as that of the eye insertion part (100), maintains, at the upper end of the eye insertion part (100), a state of being bent in an inverted L shape and is stretched so as to form a straight shape in conjunction with the eye insertion part (100) when a hookset is performed with the fishing line (20); and a snagging prevention piece (200) of which both ends (210) maintain a state, in which the both ends thereof are opened into a V shape over the hook point (13) of a fish hook (10) hooked into the eye insertion part (100), at both side surfaces of a front edge part (120) at which the eye insertion part (100) and the line guide part (110) come into contact with each other, and the both ends (210) are rotated toward a hook shank (12) when the line guide part (110) is stretched by a hookset and the like, and thus maximally preventing the loss of fishing tackles since the concern that the hook point is snagged on weeds or bedrocks in water is eliminated by the snagging prevention piece for effectively blocking the side above the hook point, and obtaining a great effect of luring a big fish since, when the snagging prevention piece is formed as a fake bait having the shape of a small fish, a live bait and the fake bait of the fish hook can be used together.

A fishing lure for securing live bait includes a flexible main body and a stretchable collar. The flexible main body is configured to have a fishing hook inserted therethrough. The stretchable collar is connected to the flexible main body. The stretchable collar has a hole configured to stretch when pulled to allow a live bait to be inserted into the hole and constrict when released to secure the live bait in the hole. Whereby, when the flexible main body is positioned on the fishing hook and the live bait is inserted into the hole of the stretchable collar, the stretchable collar positions the live bait adjacent the fishing hook for fishing.
