Flared double fish hook

1. A flared double fish hook, comprising:

a) means for receiving fishing line;

b) shank means extending from said means for receiving fishing line to a bifurcation point;

c) a pair of bent sections separated by an angle, and integrally formed with said shank means at said bifurcation point;

d) each of said bent sections ending in points;

e) said bent sections increasingly flared to curve away from each other such that said angle increases continuously from said bifurcation point to said points such that each of said bent sections does not lie in a single plane.

2. The fish hook of claim 1 , wherein said fish hook has a color finish or a differentially refractive finish or a glitter finish.

3. An improved double fish hook, comprising only two fish hooks, each of said only two fish hooks comprising a shank attached to a bend portion including a bend and ending in a point, said two fish hooks adjoined along said shanks, said two fish hooks separated by a first angle at a bifurcation point near said bends and separated by a second angle at the points, the improvement comprising increasingly flaring an angle of separation between said bend portions of said two fish hooks, such that said angle of separation increases continuously from said bifurcation point to said second angle at said points which is larger than said first angle at said bifurcation point near said bends and said bend portions curve away from each other from said bifurcation point to said points such that each of said bend portions is not lying in a single plane.

4. The hook of claim 3 , wherein said angle of separation increases linearly.

5. The hook of claim 3 , wherein said angle of separation increases exponentially.

6. The hook of claim 3 , said shanks sharing an eye at an end of said double fish hook opposite said points.

7. A flared double fish hook consisting essentially of:

a) a pair of shanks, said pair of shanks adjacent one another up to a bifurcation point;

b) said shanks bifurcating at said bifurcation point to form two fish hooks having bends ending in points;

c) said fishhooks curve away from each other and being separated by an increasingly flared angle that continuously increases from said bifurcation point to said points, such that each of said bends does not lie in a single plane and a first angle at said bifurcation point is smaller than a second angle at said points by at least 25°.

8. The hook of claim 7 , further comprising an eye at an end of said flared double fish hook opposite said points.

9. The hook of claim 7 , further comprising a flattened end at an end of said flared double fish hook opposite said points.

10. The hook of claim 7 , said shanks being adjoined up to said bifurcation point.

11. The hook of claim 7 , said shanks being brazed together up to said bifurcation point.

12. The hook of claim 7 , said shanks being flattened.

13. The hook of claim 7 , said first angle being 5-15°, said second angle being 30-90°.

14. The hook of claim 7 , said first angle being about 10°, said second angle being about 45°.

15. The hook of claim 7 , comprising tempered stainless steel or tempered carbon steel or tempered carbon steel coated with a corrosion resistant coating.

16. The fish hook of claim 7 , wherein said fish hook has a color finish or a differentially refractive finish or a glitter finish.

17. A flared double fish hook, comprising only two fish hooks having a common eye, and adjacent adjoined shanks until a bifurcation point, and each of said only two fish hooks having a bend portion ending in a point and a barb, said bend portions curving away from each other from said bifurcation point to said respective points and being separated by a first angle at said bifurcation point, an angle of separation increasing from said bifurcation point to a second angle between said points which is larger than said first angle at said bifurcation point such that each of said bend portions is not lying in a single plane.
