Abstract
A treble fishing hook includes an elongated shank which has a first end and a second end. An eye is secured to the first end of the shank. three barb-carrying bight portions are secured to the second end of the shank with the three bight portions being equally spaced about the axis of the shank and separated by an angle of about 120.degree.. Each of the bight portions is bent outwardly from the shank so as to lie in a plane which extends at an angle of from about 14.degree. to about 20.degree. to the axis of the shank. A barb is carried on each of the bight portions, and each barb is angularly displaced out of the plane of the bight portion.
