  • Patent number: 10463030
    Abstract: A guard-equipped fishing hook 50 includes: a fishing hook 30; a guard 10 formed by bending a wire-like material in a V shape; and a base 20 fixed to a shank 30b of the fishing hook 30 and having a guard attachment hole 24 formed therein, the guard attachment hole 24 holding the guard 10 such that the guard is positioned in front of a hook tip 30a when an insertion end 10a as a bent end of the guard 10 is inserted into the guard attachment hole 24. The guard 10 is made of a superelastic alloy. The guard attachment hole 24 is formed so as to be gradually tapered from an opening 24a thereof to a deepest end thereof. A bending angle ? of the insertion end 10a of the guard 10 is larger than an opening angle ? of the guard attachment hole 24.
