Apparatus for holding a fishing-hook while facilitating the threading of fishing-hooks. In an exemplary form, the invention includes a clam-shell housing, the housing having a pair of opposing first and second blocks, a pair of opposing first and second surfaces, with the first surface in the first block and the second opposing surface in the second block. The embodiment further includes at least one aperture formed at a periphery of at least one of the opposing surfaces and at least one hook-receiving channel to receive and fixedly engage the fishing hook, the channel being etched into the same opposing surface as the aperture and substantially shaped in form of the fishing-hook, with channel connected at one end to the aperture and extending thereof inwardly along the etched surface. In this way, a fishing-hook is firmly held by the housing, thus facilitating the threading of the hook.
