Abstract: A fishing harness adapter which permits the conversion of a fishing harness assembly having dual reel attachment straps into a single reel attachment strap unit, comprising a harness lead assembly, and a reel-eye hub assembly which mates to a fishing reel. The reel-eye hub assembly possesses eye receptacles which receive the eyes of the fishing reel therein. Set screws are then inserted into bores which extend through said eye receptacles, such that said set screws also penetrate the eyes which are positioned within the eye receptacles, thus securing the reel-eye hub assembly firmly to the reel. The dual reel attachment straps of the fishing harness assembly are joined together by a connector affixed to an end of a harness lead line. The opposite end of the harness lead line has a quick release attachment mechanism affixed thereat, which is then secured to a hub flange which protrudes from the reel-eye hub assembly.
