Abstract
A combination fishhook and swivel wherein the swivel is attached at the non-pointed end of the elongated stem of the fishhook and is an integral part of the fishhook. Through the combination fishhook and swivel, the fishhook itself can rotate as the fish trashes and revolves in the water while attempting to break free. As a result the fishing line attached to the combination of fishhook and swivel does not become tangled in the swivel or the fishhook.
