A retainer apparatus for a hook, the hook having opposing open and closed hook end portions, the retainer apparatus includes a beam and an extension element having an elongated loop shape that defines an aperture with a portion of the loop affixed to the beam. Also included is a resilient component with an outer surface, the resilient component encompasses the extension element and a portion of the beam, the resilient component having a slit extending from the outer surface inward to manually open the slit and expose a portion of the extension element. Operationally, the open slit allows the hook open end portion to be manually placed within the loop, when the slit is released the slit compressively sandwiches the hook about the extension element to removably retain the hook to the retainer apparatus with the hook closed loop end portion exposed outside of the outer surface.
