A fish hook (14) is connected to the handle (12) and is lockably positionable in a plurality of different rotationally aligned positions about the longitudinal axis (L). A fish hook detent (15) interconnected between the handle (12) and fish hook shank (30c) is selectively self-locking into one of a plurality of positional orientations of the fish hook (14). The device (10) is preferably buoyant in water and the handle (14) preferably has a uniform oval cross section to enhance gripability.
