A fishers lure comprises a body, at least one spine with a tip, a pivot pin
about which each spine pivots, a trigger which serves to engage each
spine, so when a fish takes the lure, the trigger is disengaged from each
spine, permitting each spine to extend outward and engage the fish. The
body serves as a shank of a hooking mechanism. The body and spine serve as
the hooking mechanism with the tip of the spine forward of the pivot pin
resulting in a relatively large hooking mechanism for a given size body.
