ABSTRACT:
A weedguard-skirt device for use with a fishing hook is adapted both for protecting the hook point from debris in the water and for providing a bait enhancing undulating motion as the hook is pulled through the water. The weedguard-skirt device preferably includes a base section adapted to be connected to the hook shank, and a plurality of elongated weedguard-skirt members connected to the base section and extending radially and rearwardly therefrom. Each weedguard-skirt member includes a front portion adapted to resist flexing toward the hook shank. A rear or skirt portion is connected to each weedguard-skirt front portion and adapted to extend rearwardly of the hook. The skirt portions are also adapted to undulate freely in a radial direction with respect to the hook shank axis. In the preferred form of the invention the base portion and weedguard-skirt members are integrally formed from a suitable soft plastic material. The flexing properties of the weedguard-skirt members in this preferred form of the invention are produced by varying the cross sectional shape of the members from the front portion to the rear or skirt portion.
