ABSTRACT:
A fish hook protector for at least partially encasing a fishing hook to prevent accidental engagement with the hook. The protector includes a cylindrical side wall having a top wall extending across the top end of the side wall. The top wall has a center aperture for receiving a shank of the hook and a channel extends through both the side wall and the top wall to facilitate an insertion of the hook when the same is attached to a line. The top wall further has an eccentric aperture positioned proximate the side wall and another channel connecting the eccentric aperture to the center aperture. The channels are colinearly arranged and allow the protector to be biased apart along the channel to be placed over a hook. Alternate embodiments of the present invention include a cap for enclosing the hook within the protector, clips for attaching the protector to a fishing pole, and an oil-saturated foam liner for applying a rust preventative oil to the associated hook.
