Abstract: Although several knot tying devices have been conceived to aid in the tying of fish hooks, all are generally complex, cumbersome, difficult to use, or ineffective. By utilizing a pistol grip device with front and rear stanchions and a hook mounting pad, one can easily and quickly tie a perfect fishing knot every time. The fishing line is inserted through the eye of the hook, around the stanchions, is looped twice around itself at the intersection between the stanchions and is simply pulled to set the hook while keeping the hook safely in the hook mounting pad to prevent accidental hooking of the person tying the knot.
