Abstract: A fishing worm threader for facilitating the placement of a live worm, or the like, on a fishing hook. The threader comprises a hollow threading tube, one end of which being embedded within a handle. The opposite end of the tube is angled (e.g. at 60 degrees) to form a hollow socket within which to receive the barb of a conventional fishing hook. In operation, the worm is first theaded onto the tube. The barb is then located within the socket so that the worm can be displaced (i.e. slid) from the threading tube onto the hook. A fishing line support extends outwardly from the handle to receive and maintain the fishing line in a taut condition during the worm threading operation.
