Abstract: A fishing net hanging jig, for tying a net to either the float or lead line, is formed of an upright stanchion, rigidly mounted upon a support, and an L-shaped member having a horizontal leg, which is horizontally adjustably secured to the stanchion, and an upright vertical leg. A thin pointer is provided upon the upper end of the stanchion, and a line support fork is provided upon the upper end of the vertical leg. The space between the pointer and fork is acurately set by horizontally adjusting and then locking the horizontal leg to the stanchion. A cord is passed through a number of mesh loops of the net and is tied to the line by supporting the line at the last tied knot and stretching the line to the pointer. The next knot may be tied at, or around the pointer, and then the line may be pulled free of the pointer and may be re-positioned for tying the next sequential knot.
