ABSTRACT:
A long-line fishing hook apparatus includes an orientation station for serially receiving and orienting hooks on snoods as the hooks are drawn by a moving long-line. Initially, the hook bend of the hooks are drawn through a hook slot in a pipe and when advanced to an angularly offset shifting slot, are deflected therethrough by a shifting bar actuated by an enlargement on each snood. This deflection guides the hook bends into a bottom-most slot which guides them past a sensor device. Deformed hooks activate the sensor to position a hook straightening assembly in the path of the traveling hooks. Hooks leaving the orientation station and/or straightening assembly subsequently are directed to a baiting mechanism to complete the readying of the long-line for re-use.
