Abstract
A mount for rigging a single-barb fishhook or a treble hook which temporarily secures the fishhook for rotation by a motorized drill or similar type of equipment or by hand, where the eye is maintained in a generally fixed spatial location on or near the central axis of the mount during rotation, for attachment of a wire leader to the eye of the fishhook. A bore perpendicular to the rotational axis is provided to retain a single-barb fishhook and a cross member is provided to retain a treble hook. A short segment of the wire lead is threaded through the eye and bent back toward the main body of the wire leader. Both the main body and the short segment of the wire leader are then held in fixed relationship while the mount is rotated.
