Abstract: A tool for feeding a fishing line through the eyelets of a fishing rod has a loop of filament attached to an elongated guide and twisted across itself at a distal overlap to form a figure-eight with proximal and distal portions wider and narrower, respectively, than the eyelets. The wider portion facilitates insertion of a free end of the line into the loop. The loop is resiliently flexible so that the overlap separates and then recovers as the inserted line is passed transversely through the gap into the narrower portion of the figure-eight. The passed line is then transversely wedged in the narrower portion of the figure-eight. The loop is also resiliently flexible so that, as the guide leads the loop and the line through each eyelet, the wider portion of the loop compresses and then expands, inhibiting inadvertent withdrawal of the tool from an eyelet.
