<p>A device (10) for facilitating ease of knot tying for securing a fishing line (40) to a fishing hook and also for promoting safety in the handling and storage of fishing tackle. The device (10) has a lidded enclosure within which the head of a fish hook can be secured with the eye (31) on the end of the fish hook shank protruding out. Opposed to the protruding hook shank is a shaft (22) by which the enclosure and the hook can be rotated to assist in the formation of a bloodknot to secure the fishing line (40) to the fish hook. A swivel (34) and ring (38) are attached to the shaft (22) to apply tension through the enclosure to the fish hook and fishing line (31) to clench the knot. When the enclosure is closed with a hook inside, the hook can be transported and stored without danger from an exposed sharp point or barb.</p> |
