Abstract: A fishing line spool holder for a tackle box having a tray therein, for facilitating the transfer of fishing line from the fishing line spool holder to a fishing reel, the spool holder including a spindle on which the fishing spool is rotatably mounted, a support for holding the spindle and means for engaging the support with the tackle box tray. One end of the spindle is adjustedly located at different distances from the tray for transferring fishing line from different size spools which are rotatedly mounted on these spindles between the outer end thereof and the tray.

Abstract: A split ring opening hand tool is shown in the form of a modified pair of long nosed pliers. One jaw carries a support for a split ring while the other jaws carries a probe that passes between the convolutions of the split ring as the jaws are moved to their closed positions. The probe has a laterally facing inclined surface that converges on the tip end of the probe and the support has a groove which provides a laterally facing inclined surface that is encountered by the probe tip end after it passes through the convolutions. This causes relative lateral movement of the jaws as the convolutions are being spread apart by the relative movement of the probe support.
