ABSTRACT:
A hook protection and float device including a pair of cooperating enclosing halves operable to open and close with respect to each other. Flanges integral with each enclosing half are used to manipulate the halves into the open position against the biasing of a resilient band. The halves each include an exterior perimeter surface terminating in a perimeter edge. The edges provide for overlapping cooperation of the perimeter edges when the halves are closed with respect to each other. The exterior surfaces define an enclosure space for the placement therein or removal therefrom from a fish hook. The perimeter edges define a hook shank hole through which the shank portion of the hook protrudes when the hook is enclosed within the enclosure space. The present invention also includes a hook shank collar the perimeter of which is coterminous with the perimeter of the hook shank hole and extends therefrom into the enclosure space. A buoyant insert is also provided for placement in the enclosure space for providing buoyancy for the present invention when used as a float.
