Abstract: The present disclosure relates in general to fishing tackle, and more specifically, to a fishing line attachment mechanism and method of use that provides for a quick, simple, and secure means of attaching fishing line to a fishing reel. The purpose of the invention is to avoid having to tie difficult knots when securing fishing line to the reel. Another purpose of the invention is to gradually introduce fishing line to an exterior of the reel to mitigate risk of line breakage. The attachment mechanism may include a head, body, tail, and seating on a spool of the fishing reel designed to insert and retain a knotted end of the fishing line therein. In some instances the attachment mechanism may further include an arm portion to help maintain the fishing line in a proper position on the spool.

Abstract: The present invention relates in general to the field of rod-and-reel fishing, and more specifically, to a cartridge for holding new fishing line while at the same time providing a convenient storage mechanism for retrieving, holding and disposing of old, worn-out fishing line. One aspect of the replacement fishing line cartridge includes an outer spooling portion and an inner spooling portion. The inner spooling portion may be detachably snapped, slid or locked into the outer spooling portion. The outer spooling portion may be configured to hold new fishing line. The inner spooling portion may be configured to hold old fishing line, wherein the inner spooling portion fits inside the outer spooling portion to prevent the old fishing line from detangling. In this manner, the replacement fishing line cartridge may be used to conveniently dispose of and/or recycle old fishing line in a compact manner.
