Fish hook

Claim 2

A fishing hook structure composed of a singular wire-like member with a loop at one end, a pair of wire sections disposed substantially parallel to one another with at least one wire section extending with a shank from the loop and having a hook end extending and in curved-like fashion around an end of the other wire section to a barbed end, and the other wire section is spaced from said shank a distance substantially midway between the barbed end and shank and has a barb at its free end.

Claim 3

The invention as set forth in claim 1 in which said other wire section has its end that is opposite to its free end integrally connected to the hook end of Said one wire section.

Claim 4

The invention as set forth in claim 1 in which said other wire section is integral with and extends from the loop to its free end, and the free end terminates at the mouth of the hook end of the said one wire section.

Claim 5

A fishing hook structure composed of a singular wire having a small coil-like loop therein forming one end of the hook structure and a pair of wire sections extending from the loop generally alongside but spacedly from one another with one wire section terminating at an end with a barb thereon and the other wire section extending from the loop and having a hook end portion extending arcuately around but spaced from the aforesaid end to thereby form the loop portion of the hook and terminating at a hook end opposite but spaced from the aforesaid end, said hook end having a barb thereon.

Claim 6

A fishing hook structure composed of a singular wire having a small coil-like loop therein forming one end of the hook structure and a pair of wire sections extending from the loop generally alongside but spacedly from one another with one wire section terminating at an end with a barb thereon and the other wire section extending from the loop and having a hook end portion extending arcuately around but spaced from the aforesaid end to thereby form the loop portion of the hook and terminating at a hook end opposite but spaced from the aforesaid end, said hook end having a barb thereon.

Claim 7

The fishing hook structure as set forth in claim 4 characterized by the end of said one wire section being disposed substantially centrally with respect to the hook end portion of said other wire section and by said first wire section having a plurality of barbs formed on the surface thereof and spaced lengthwise along the wire section.

Claim 8

A fish hook member composed of a single wire member having a barb at a first end and extending from the barb in curved fashion to form a hook portion with the end and from thence in a relatively long substantially first straight shank offset from the end to at least one complete loop and from the loop in a second shorter substantially straight shank substantially parallel to the first shank and terminating at an end offset from the first end but within said hook, said second shank having barbs thereon facing opposite to the direction of the barb on the first end.

Claim 9

A fish hook member composed of a single wire member having a barb at a first end and extending from the barb in curved fashion to form a hook portion with the end and from thence in a relatively long substantially first straight shank offset from the end to at least one complete loop and from the loop in a second shorter substantially straight shank substantially parallel to the first shank and terminating at an end offset from the first end but within said hook, said second shank having barbs thereon facing opposite to the direction of the barb on the first end.

Claim 10

The fish hook member as set forth in claim 6 further characterized by the hook, first and second shanks, both ends and said loop being substantially coplaner except for the minor offset created by the forming of the loop.

Claim 11

The fish hook member as set forth in claim 6 further characterized by the second shank and end being spaced from the first shank substantially one-half the distance between the first end and first shank.
