Abstract
A portable hand-held apparatus for sharpening fish hooks and stripping lines from a fish spool. The apparatus includes a housing having an inlet port, an exit port and an aperture through which a sharpening mechanism extends. A motor mechanism is mounted within the housing operatively connected to a roller mechanism and the sharpening mechanism. The roller mechanism is aligned with the inlet and exit ports and is arranged to engage the free end of a line, guided through the housing inlet port. The roller mechanism transports the line through the housing and out the exit port, stripping the line off the spool. A sharpening mechanism rotatably projects through the housing aperture to engage a fish hook barb or other object.
