A container for a fish hook and a fish bait consisting of two halves. The two halves are hinged together on one side of the container. The container has two finger grip portions extending there from at the same side. The hinge is made of spring leaves that are connected together by a hinge pin. The hinge pin is surrounded by a coil spring. The ends of the coil spring abut against an underside of the finger grip portions and the spring is so biased that a pressure is exerted against the finger grip portions to thereby keep the two halves of the container in a closed position. It takes two fingers of one hand to open the container. The container has a hook on one end to be hooked to a fishing reel on a fishing rod. A line end of the fishing line is contained within the container and has a hook and a bait attached thereto.
