A fishing hook guard (10) includes an elongated tubular base (12) having a closed bottom end (16) and an open top end (18) and an inside diameter for receiving the point (33) and barb (36) of the hook (32) and a cap (14) adapted to fasten to and cover the open top end (18) of the base (12) so as to lock the point (33) and barb (36) of the hook in the guard (10). The cap (14) and base (12) are fastened together to hold the instrusive end of the hook (32) thereinside. One or more longitudinal slots (36) can be provided in the open top end (18) of the base (12) to receive the shaft (34) of the hook (32). A generally lateral and outwardly protruding flange (38) is interposed between the ends (16, 18) of the base (12) to protect the user's thumb and/or fingers from being inadvertently poked during an attempted insertion of the hook (32) into the base (12). Structures (37) for aiding the user in gripping the outside of the guard (10) are provided thereon.
