the hook shaft 108 is perpendicular to the line 20 and the hook loop 102 is oriented with the hooking end 104 up there is a lever arm 106 between the upper 101 and lower 103 eyes the weight 4 applies torque through this lever arm 106 to maintain the double eye hook fisher 39 s device 100 in the desired angular orientation the angular orientation of hook fisher 39 s device 100 in the desired angular orientation the angular orientation of the hook loop 102 is the only stable orientation possible even while a fish is taking the hook loop 102 the weight and tension in the lines 20 and 6 will continue to hold the hook loop 102 in the orientation shown with the hooking end 104 up thus when a fisher pulls to set the hook loop 102 the hooking end 104 is in the position set the hook loop 102 has a diameter that is at least u00bd the straight portion of the hook shaft 108 a longer hook shaft 108 could cause the fish to swallow the hook loop 102 to a point deeper than would be desired as can be seen the fishers device 100 can be formed from a single piece of wire fig3 shows an alternate embodiment of the present invention an open eye fishers device 200 in this embodiment the lower eye 203 can be fully formed but the partial loop upper eye 201 may not be a fully closed loop the partial loop upper eye 201 formed from a partial loop can be enough to allow for the knot 5 to be secured this open eye fishers device 200 may be less expensive to manufacture than the embodiment of fig1.
