Abstract
A fishing lure with actuated hooks preferably includes a fish housing, a hook retainer, a hook cam, a pull pin and at least two hooks. The hook retainer pivotally retains pivoting ends of the at least two hooks. A front of the hook retainer is retained in fish housing. The hook cam preferably includes a cone base and at least two hook loops. The pivoting ends of the at least two hooks are inserted through the at least two hook loops. The hook cam does not move axially relative to the pull pin. The fish housing includes at least two hook slots to allow the at least two hooks to extend outward. A compression spring biases the hooks to stay in the fish housing. The at least two hooks are pushed outward by axial movement of the hook cam relative to the fish housing when the pull pin is pulled.
