Abstract: A device for attaching fishing bait to a supporting surface such as a belt worn around a fisherman's waist includes a hook which is attached to a flexible strap. The strap has a pair of opposed broad sides, each of which are juxtaposed to a lid. The lids and the strap are secured to each other by a mechanical fastener passing through a central opening in each of the lids and an end of the strap. The lids are provided with threads for engagement with jars of fishing bait. Preferably the strap is formed of a flexible fabric and the hook is connected to a buckle passing through the strap, the hook being rotatably attached to the buckle.
