Abstract: Method and apparatus for storing at least one fish hook in a channel, preferably an arcuate channel positioned around an axis and having a cross section complimentary to the fish hook shape, with the eye portion of the fish hook disposed radially outward from the axis of the channel and with the axis of the opening of the eye disposed parallel to the axis of the channel, and preferably with a plurality of fish hooks being protectively disposed in the channel with spring means urging the fish hooks toward one end of the channel against a resilient containment member confining the fish hooks to the channel at the end thereof adjacent openings in the apparatus of a size approximating that of the fish hook eye and positioned adjacent the fish hook eye at the location at which the fish hook is restrained by the containment member, the openings being divergent on at least one side of the fish hook eye such that a fish hook may be urged by the spring means to the end of the channel, contained there by the containmen
