ABSTRACT:
A fishing hook includes a guard for preventing weeds from inadvertently snagging or contaminating the hook, while enabling the guard to flex toward the shank of the hook to catch a fish. The flexible sheet-like metallic guard is secured at one end to the hook adjacent the eye, and has an opposing free end normally positioned between the barbed tip of the hook and the eye. The guard lies within a plane substantially perpendicular to the hook plane, and has a width substantially greater than its thickness such that the end of the guard is prevented from moving in a direction perpendicular to the hook plane and out of alignment with the barbed tip, while the guard may freely flex toward the shank of the hook to catch fish.
