Abstract: A pad of general equilateral triangle shape is formed with a central through-aperture and with a through-slot extending from the aperture to one side of the pad, with a notch extending inwardly from the pad side and communicating with the slot. The slot facilitates placement of the pad over the shank of a hook attached to a line or to a fishing lure device, with the hook points being imbeddable into the underside of the pad. Individual pad conformation facilitates production of multiple pads in nested interrelationship as by incomplete die stamping, with minimal waste of material, while permitting choice of selected interconnected groupings of pads for ease of packaging, marketing, and user handling and storage.
