Fishhook baiting apparatus

摘要

An apparatus for baiting a fishhook that eliminates the need for the user to touch or otherwise directly handle the bait, thereby avoid transferring the bait or its smell to the user and his or hers clothes. The fishhook baiting apparatus has plunger member slidably disposed in a bait chamber formed by a generally elongated tubular member. One end of the tubular member is configured to be inserted into a supply of bait such that a portion of the bait is placed inside the bait chamber. The fishhook is placed inside the bait in the bait chamber and the bait is then compressed around the fishhook by pushing the open end of the tubular member against a hard surface. The plunger member is utilized to eject the bait and fishhook from the bait chamber. The result is a fishhook that is substantially encased by the bait.
