This invention comprises a tool for baiting of fishing hooks and lines. The tool has a handle with a pair of telescoping needles; the first needle is hollow and slidably receives the second needle. Both of the needles have end recesses for receiving the point of a fishing hook. The first, outer needle also has a distal notch for attachment of a leader or fishing line while the second, inner needle has a distal aperture through which a leader or fishing line can be threaded. The handle slidably receives the inner needle and has detents to lock the inner needle in its extended and retracted positions. The inner needle is used for application of bait to small hooks or to a leader, while the outer, larger diameter needle is used for the application of bait to large hooks or to leaders. Both needles can be used to apply bait to multiple-hook fishing hooks.
