ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The improvements in longline fishing systems dis- closed herein include improvements in the art of baiting long- lines, improvements in a baiter and a bait cutting mechanism, improvements in a fish hook and improvements in a magazine for storing hooks during baiting and longline shooting. The im- provement in the baiting method provides that the steps in the baiting include the locating of adjacent hooks of a longline in a side-by-side laterally spaced relationship and the retain, ing of the hooks in a gang in a fixed position with respect to one another and simultaneously hooking the gang of hooks into bait while the gang of hooks are retained in the fixed relation- ship. The improvement in the fish hook includes the provision of a body having a shank portion at one end thereof upon which a spacer is mounted. The spacer has at least one lateral pro- jection extending therefrom whereby a plurality of hooks can be arranged in a side-by-side relationship with their head portions spaced by engagement of the projections of adjacent spacer means. The fish hook baiter comprises a hook support for supporting a gang of hooks in a side-by-side spaced relationship, a bait support for supporting bait during hooking and guide means interconnecting the bait support and the hook support to permit relative movement therebetween along a baiting path whereby bait supported on the bait support is applied to each of the hooks in the gang of hooks. The fish hook storage magazine in which the hooks may be supported for baiting and shooting comprises a frame which has a slipway opening inwardly from one end thereof. The slipway has upwardly and downwardly opening passages ex- tending longitudinally inwardly from the one end and-opposite sides of the slipway are adapted to slidably mount a fish hook for movement along the slipway whereby a plurality of fish hooks may be mounted on the slipway in a side-by-side sliding relationship.
