Patent ID: 8539710

Claim:
A retractable hook set for fishing comprising: a body portion; a retractable member, wherein the retractable member is attached at a first end to a rotatable spool and the spool includes a recoil spring, such that the spool is biased to rotate the spool and retract the retractable member into the body portion, and wherein the spool is encased within the body portion; a spring loaded push button locking member, said retractable member being threaded through the spring loaded push button locking member such that the locking member may be shifted from a locked configuration wherein the retractable member is held in place by the locking member and an unlocked configuration wherein the retractable member is movable, and wherein the locking member is attached to the body portion; a trigger member, wherein the trigger member is attached to the retractable member at a second end opposite said first end, said trigger member including a first slot, a second slot and a pin, wherein the pin extends perpendicularly from the trigger member; wherein said second end of said retractable member extends through and is secured to the trigger at the first slot; and wherein when the body portion is secured to a fishing pole, a user may hold the trigger and pull a desired length of the retractable member from the body portion so as to provide a desired tension on the length of the fishing pole such that when the pin of the trigger is inserted into the tip eyelet of the fishing pole, a fishing line may be inserted into said second slot of the trigger member so that when the fishing line is pulled when a fish bites, it sets off the trigger which releases the tension on the pole thereby allowing a rapid jerk for the setting of a hook on the fishing line in the fish.
