Abstract: Apparatus for threading worms and the like on fishhooks has a body member provided with a through hole arranged for receiving an end portion of a worm disposed extending along a surface of the body member adjacent the hole. A length of tubing is then inserted into the worm and subsequently placed cantilever fashion in a recess provided on the body member. The tubing supports a fishhook at the free end of the tubing, with a length of line attached to the hook being wrapped part of the way around the body member, and the worm is moved manually from the tubing onto the hook and line.
