Snag-hook for salmon fishing

A snag-hook particularly adapted for salmon fishing having barbed tines having a central stem terminating into an eye for the attachment of a fish line thereto. A weight is provided with slots and a central recessed portion to receive the stem and tines of the hook. The weight extends in an opposite direction from the eye of the hook. A retainer member in the form of a resilient ring having overlapping ends detachably mounts the hook to the weight and accommodates the interchangeability of weights of different sizes and different hooks for different snag-fishing conditions.
