(under subclass 42) Lures which are made of a flexible material and which either house the hook or protect it by preceding and/or shielding the hook points or barbs. The bait is compressible or collapsible to allow fish to take the hook.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
42.24+, for flexible appendages for lures which may also have the effect of guarding the hook.
42.4+, for lures having auxiliary guarding members which are not of a nature to attract fish, and especially subclass 42.41 for rigid bodies having a hook or hook point lying in a slot or indentation in the body.
