  • Patent number: 4691468
    Abstract: A fishing weight assembly. The assembly includes an elongated body having spaced end panels and an elongated bore. A radial slot in the body extends outwardly from the bore through an outer face of the body. The weight assembly also includes a plug member which includes a stem frictionally receivable in the bore and heads for bearing on the end panels. An elongated bore in the plug member extends lengthwise of the stem and the heads thereof. A radial slot extends from the bore of the plug member through an outer edge thereof. The slot of the plug member is alignable with the radial slot of the body so that a line can be inserted through the slots. The line can be locked in the bores of the body and the plug member when the plug member is rotated from aligned position.
