  • Patent number: 9622463
    Abstract: An accessory for a treble fishing hook features an attachment body spanning about a longitudinal axis on which an opening extends into said attachment body. The attachment body has a plurality of slots spaced apart around said longitudinal axis, and each slot has a first leg extending axially into the attachment body from a first axial end of the attachment body toward an opposing second axial end thereof. Each slot is arranged to receive and engage an intermediate portion of a respective hook of the fishing hook into the slot via an open end of the first leg of the slot at the first axial end of the attachment body. The attachment hangs from the intermediate portions of the hooks to support a dressing on the treble hook while leaving the tips or points of the hooks unobscured for normal use during a fish bite.
