Abstract

A snagless fishing lure, wherein dual levers that engage a piston carrying a hook are pivotally connected on upper and lower sides of what may be a fish-shaped housing with the housing suitably constructed to conceal the hook when the piston is engaged with the forward end of the levers and the housing and piston are of suitable length and construction so that when both levers are depressed simultaneously a rubber band hooked between the piston and rear of the housing may propel the piston rearward to cause the hook to be ejected to catch the fish.
