Fishing-hook holder and threading device

A fishing-hook holder and threading device comprising:

• a) a clam-shell housing for a fishing hook, said housing having a pair of opposing first and second blocks, said fishing hook comprising an eye, a shank, a barb, and a bend wherein said shank extends from said eye to said bend, and said bend curving from said shank to said barb;
• b) a pair of opposing first and second surfaces, said first opposing surface in said first block and said second opposing surface in said second block;
• c) at least one aperture formed at a periphery of each of said opposing surfaces;
• and
• d) at least one hook-receiving channel etched in each of said opposing surfaces in the shape of said fishing-hook, said channel connected at one end to said aperture in the corresponding block and extending thereof inwardly along said etched surface, said channel comprising a main-stem channel shaped in the form of said shank, said channel further comprising a plurality of curved channels each having a corresponding barb-engaging cavity-end wherein said main-stem channel extends from said aperture to said curved channels, each of said curved channels being shaped in the form of said bend and radially branching from said main-stem channel at different radii from each other and extending to said corresponding barb-engaging cavity-end wherein said channel receives and fixedly engages said shank, barb, and bend of said fishing hook.
