The wire guard does several things!! keeps from hanging brush,lines up the hook to get a good hook set in the fish's mouth,what we like is if stiff enough wire but limber enough the bait deflects of off brush, rocks gives and injured bait reaction!! For a reaction bite when fish are not feeding!!! We learned this from fishing for hybrid stripers!!If you swam the bait straight through the brush hitting no limbs no bite if bait deflected off of a limb they hybrid striper would attach the bait!!!
