A fishhook device comprises a hook unit and a lure member releasably fastened together. The hook unit comprises a first arm having a first hook at one end and a releasable fastener part at its opposite end, and a second arm with second and third hooks at one end and its other end portion joined to the first arm. The hooks each comprise a point and a curved portion. The curved portions of the second and third hooks diverge, one to each side of a longitudinal axis of the unit, and curve towards the second arm. The first hook curves towards the second arm in a plane through the longitudinal axis. The lure member has a second releasable fastener part and a loop spaced apart along the longitudinal axis. The second arm is releasably fastened to the lure member by cooperation of the first and second releasable fastener parts and by extension of the second arm through the loop. The second arm is movable from a first position, in which the two arms are apart and the points of the hooks are shielded from entanglement with weeds, to a second position, in which the arms are together and the points of the hooks project clear of the lure to snag a fish having its jaws clamped around the unit. The lure member may be a plate or "spoon". Alternatively, the lure member may be a bait replica of plastics material, perhaps shaped as a frog, and attached to the hook unit by means of a plate member provided with an appropriate second releasable fastener part. In the latter case, the plate may have a tang which is inserted into the body of the replica. In the first position, the point of the first hook is shielded by the second and third hooks and the points of the second and third hooks are shielded by the body of the bait replica. In the second or actuated position, the hooks protrude clear of the body. In the case of a frog-shaped lure member, the hooks conveniently protrude between the legs of the frog. 22
