Abstract: A rigging system to attach a fishing line to a lure or hook. A knot tier is provided wherein a loop of the fishing line may be wrapped twice around the body of the knot tier to form two circles, wherein an end of the loop may be retained in the knot tier, and wherein the two circular wrappings may be pulled over the retained end to form a knotted loop. A lure connector allows connection of the knotted loop to the lure or hook without tying the knotted loop to the lure connector.

Abstract: A line threading and cutting device useful for threading, knotting, sizing and tying a line to an eyelet of a lure and hook comprising an enclosure case having an indentation and a line retainer and release mechanism for holding the said line in a looped position over the surface of the said enclosure case so as to form a knot in the said line attached to an eyelet of a lure; the said enclosure case having an assembly of components mounted therein including a spring clamp aligned with a line guide means in the said case in combination for holding the eyelet lure and hook; a single cutting blade in assembly with a backup plate, with means for sliding the said cutting blade in a scissor movement against the edge of the said backup plate and a spring loaded line release having an indentation for holding the said looped line.

Abstract: A device for holding a hook eyelet to enable easier threading and knotting of a fishing line through use of the said device comprising two plates, each with means to hold securely the eyelet of a lure and a fishing hook, each of the said means being shaped into similar cone shaped indentations with a slot from the center of the indentation and a threading hole in the apex of each of the said cone shaped indentations through which to thread the fishing line; the said plate surfaces being aligned to permit the two cone shaped indentations to nest together.
