Abstract
Abstract A fish hook setter comprising a support and a pole holder pivotally mounted thereon with a tension spring secured to the rear end of the pole holder and to a bracket on the support. A trigger having a line holder thereon is pivotally secured to the support forwardly of the pole holder and is held in operative position by a lever which slidably engages the pole holder. When the trigger is pivoted by a pull on the line, it is disengaged from the lever and the spring jerks the pole holder with the fishing rod therein sharply upwardly to set the hook in the fish''s mouth.
