ABSTRACT:
A weed guard for incorporation within a fishing jig includes an elongated flexible plastic member having a generally rounded and substantially flattened head portion at one end thereof and a generally cylindrical portion at the opposite end thereof interconnected by a central neck portion. The flattened head has a central bore formed therein and extending perpendicular to the flattened surfaces thereof for allowing the flattened head to be passed over and around the barbed tip of the fishing jig and positioned proximate to the leadhead of the fishing jig. A conventional soft plasic skirt is thereafter installed on the fishing jig. The cylindrical end of the elongated plastic member terminates in a blunt end into which the barbed tip of the jig is engaged to prevent the hook from snagging weeds or other submerged debris. The central neck portion of the elongated plastic member is reduced in width to facilitate the bending of the elongated plastic member along the central neck portion.
