Quick take

Rubber hook protector caps that slide over barbs to protect fingers and other tackle, and can be reused many times.

These small rubber caps slip over the barb and point of a hook and twist off with your fingers when you are ready to fish. A pack holds 100, one cap per barb, and they fit single and treble hooks. They suit anglers who carry lures loose in a tackle box or want to keep hook points covered around kids and clothing.

Best for

  • Protecting hands and lure bags during transport
  • Anglers who tie or store lures with exposed hooks

Skip if

  • You store most lures in tackle boxes
  • You fish hooks too small to grip the barb

Strengths

  • Rubber friction holds caps on even small hooks
  • Clear design doesn't hide the lure

Trade-offs

  • Small caps are easy to lose during tying
  • Doesn't fit very small hooks or micro flies
  • Rubber may crack if over-stretched
