A fishing lure (10) includes a housing (14) in which a pair of fishing hooks (12) are enclosed. One end of each hook is secured to a spring (50) loaded plunger (40) held in a hook retracted position by a trigger (70). The trigger is activated when a fish bites on the lure. When the trigger is activated, the plunger is released and the spring drives it forward. The plunger drives the hook end (18) of the hooks into the sides of the fish's mouth to set the hooks. Because the hooks are rapidly set, the fish has no time to react and spit out the lure. Also, the hooks are driven into the fish's mouth with sufficient force they cannot now be dislodged by movements of the fish.
