ABSTRACT:
A weedless fish hook assembly (10), and a method of making the weedless fish hook assembly, involve an elongated shield (14) constructed of a flexible, semi-rigid and resilient tube (30) with a shank (20) of a fish hook passing through and being attached to an upper tubularly portion (34) of the shield near an upper end of the shank. A lower portion of the elongated shield comprises an elongated segment inside-out segment (38) of the tube which bows from the upper tubularly portion toward the hook of the hook member. A metallic hook member of said fish hook assembly passes through an opening in the lower portion of said shield at a penetration area such that the inside-out segment bows outwardly and downwardly toward the hook. The inside-out segment forms a groove in which the hook's spear end is positioned to thereby protect the hook spear end from snagging debris but which yields to the mouths of biting fish.
