A fishing line guide device for preventing snags and fish loss includes a rod and a cylinder. The cylinder is coupled to a bottom of the rod so that the cylinder is perpendicular to the rod. The rod is configured to be grasped in hands of a user, positioning the user to position the cylinder on a fishing line between a fishing pole and a hooked fish. The user is positioned to guide the line away from an obstruction as a fisherman reels in the line with the line sliding over the cylinder.
