ABSTRACT:
A treble hook protector apparatus. The apparatus is typically a single molded piece. The apparatus typically includes two outer fins or handles that are pressed together to spread apart side walls at an integral hinge to “open” the protector to insert the shaft of the hook. A central clasp opens allowing the hook to be inserted into the central channel. One of the three hooks rests inside the channel. The other two hooks rest against the outer winged walls. A bottom plate prevents the hook from falling out. The central clasp prevents the hook from pushing above the upper walls. The outer lips help prevent surfaces such as fabric from entering past the walls and onto the hooks. In addition, when the hook is removed, the fins can once again be engaged to open the device and allow the device to be clipped onto some suitable edge to temporarily store the device.
