An apparatus is disclosed for connecting a fish hook to a line. The apparatus includes a body of pen like configuration. The body has a first and a second end and defines a bore which extends from the first to the second end of the body. A shaft is slidably disposed within the bore, the shaft having a first and a second extremity. The first extremity of the shaft is disposed adjacent to the first end of the body and the second extremity of the shaft is disposed adjacent to the second end of the body. A biasing device is provided for urging the shaft in a direction from the first towards the second end of the body. The first extremity of the shaft defines a transverse slot such that in use of the apparatus, when the line has been threaded through an eye defined by the fish hook, the line is then passed around the body so that the line generates a loop, the body is then turned so that the loop attains a plurality of twists. The shaft is then urged through the bore in opposition to the biasing device. A tail end of the line disposed outside the loop is then guided into the transverse slot. The shaft is then urged by the biasing device so that the tail end of the line is trapped within the slot and within the bore adjacent to the first end of the body. The trapped tail end is then pulled through the loop thus connecting the hook to the line.
