A method and apparatus for baiting circle hooks includes a baiting station and a surface upon which a piece of bait rests at the baiting station. A groove extends away from the surface. A piece of bait is positioned over the groove. As circle hook is fed to the baiting station the point and point bend of the hook are engaged and hidden by the groove. thus hiding the point of the hook from the bait as the point traverses past the leading edge of the bait. Thereafter, the hook is caused to rotate so that the point impales the bait. Preferably, the hook and bait are thereafter counter-rotated so that the bait piece fully engages the hook and resides on .the hook bend.

Three different apparatus for feeding artificial bait are disclosed. One feeds individual bait (12) size pieces from a stack of such pieces. A second feeds elongated strips (54) from a stack of strips to a baiting station and cuts incremental pieces presented at the baiting station. A third apparatus feeds a continuous, elongated strip (84) of bait wound onto a reel (86) to a baiting station (82) and cuts incremental pieces presented at the baiting station.

A hydraulic swivel joint (40) transfers pressurized hydraulic fluid from a stationary spool (50) to a housing (42) mounted for rotation about the spool (50). The swivel (40) also carries a drain line (64) placed in fluid communication with the spool/housing interface above and below the pressurized fluid passages so that any fluid leaking from the pressurized fluid passages will find its way to the drain and thus not to the outside of the swivel.

A device for capturing hooks (28) for use in conjunction with longline hauling and stowage apparatus (20) includes a hook elevating ramp (52), an engagement plate (50), and a brush (54). The hook elevating ramp (52) elevates the hook (28) to the location of the guide track (34) by which the hook (28) is to be captured for storage, while the engagement plate (50) rotates the hook (28) to ensure its engagement on the guide track (34). The brush (54) serves to stabilize the hook (28) immediately prior to and during hook rotation.
