ABSTRACT:
A hook guard includes a resilient body member having a leg and an arm extending therefrom at an angle substantially different than the angle between the prongs of a hook. The body member has a cavity therein extending into the leg and arm. Due to the resilience of the body member, the leg and arm are capable of being urged into an angle that is substantially the same as the angle between the prongs of the hook. With the leg and arm in that position, the prongs of the hook can be inserted into the cavity and are thereafter frictionally retained by the resilience of the body member when the leg and arm are allowed to return toward their initial positions. The hook guard can also include a second arm extending from the leg at an obtuse angle substantially different than the angle between the prongs of the hook so as to define a Y-shaped body member with a Y-shaped cavity therein for receiving various multiple prong hooks, such as double or treble hooks.
