Claim:
A system for managing pre-rigged fish hooks attached to fish line, comprising: a) a carrying device including a support structure that conforms to bodily movements of a fisherman, said support structure having a fish hook retainer end and a fish line retainer end, wherein said fish hook retainer end includes a fish hook retainer, wherein said fish line retainer end includes a plurality of tubular sleeves, wherein each tubular sleeve has a sidewall circumscribing a hollow space therein, wherein each tubular sleeve is an elastic tubular sleeve; b) a first body fastener secured proximate to said fish hook retainer end for attaching said support structure to the fisherman; and c) a separate weight for each separate tubular sleeve, whereby when said separate weight is attached to the fish line of a pre-rigged fish hook retained by said fish hook retainer said separate weight moves up and down freely within said separate tubular sleeve in response to the bodily movements of the fisherman only under the force of gravity keeping the fish line substantially straight.
