Abstract
A fishing hook guard is provided. The fishing hook guard includes two or more shells that can be coupled together to enclose a hook of a fishing implement. Each shell features a centrally aligned half aperture, forming a complete aperture when joined in a closed configuration. In the closed configuration, the shells are secured via a fastener, creating a closed guard with a flat disk and a sidewall extending from one side. The combined sidewall and disk form an open cylinder for accommodating the fishing hook. When opened, the shells separate, exposing the fishing hook.
