ABSTRACT:
A molded, plastic guard for use in combination with a baited fishing hook to prevent snagging or fouling from underwater vegetation. The guard of the instant invention is a funnel-shaped device with an enlarged proximal end for securing the barb of the fishing hook in a fixed position. A V-shaped slot opposite a barb detent centers the shank of a fish hook forcing the barb into a desired position. The distal end of the guard is used to bias against the body of the bait to maintain the bait in a parallel plane to the fish hook, further providing an uninterrupted guide between the bait and the tip of the hook. Once installed, the guard is only dislodged by an upward force as provided when a fish takes the hook.
