ABSTRACT:
An enclosure which encloses and shields the sharp barb portion of a fish hook. In some preferred embodiments, the enclosure consists of a base portion with a radially extending slot which extends from the outer edge of the base portion to a location immediately past a center point in the base portion and a corresponding cover portion which has openings to permit drainage of moisture from the fish hook guard. Base portion and cover portion are preferably pivotably connected and either the base portion or the cover portion includes at least one vertically extending projection which assists in orientating the fish hook within the fish hook guard. In other preferred embodiments, a base portion positions a fish hook having a single sharp barb. The base portion is preferably pivotably connected to a cover portion which covers and encloses the sharp barb of the fish hook. Both the base portion and the cover portion preferably include openings which permit drainage of moisture from the fish hook guard. In yet other preferred embodiments, the fish hook guard consists of an enclosure which includes at one end an opening which corresponds to the fish hook and a channel extending from the opening. At the end of the enclosure opposite to the opening, a web extends radially at least as far as the channel to provide the user with a convenience and accessible surface to grip the fish hook guard without compression of the channel.
