Abstract
A fishing lure which has at least one hook and the hook or hooks are provided with a sheath-guard that serves as a sheath for the hook to prevent the hook(s) from catching on things and from entanglement with other hooks and further protects the sharpness of the hook by encasing the point of the hook. The sheath-guard, when it does not form a sheath for the hook, serves as a guard for the hook. The sheath-guard also serves numerous fish attracting functions in lures in which it is incorporated.
