Abstract: A fish line guide assembly having a plastic mounting clip with a body portion and a long passage adapted to receive a slender tine of a removable wire loop member. The slender tine constitutes the base portion of the wire loop member, and has a non-circular or square cross section whereas the body portion of the clip has a passage of similar cross section, closely conforming to the tine. The loop member can be mounted on the clip or removed therefrom by inserting or withdrawing the tine from the passage of the mounting clip. The non-circular configuration of the tine and the closely-conforming passage of the body of the clip coact to maintain the loop member in upright position with respect to the fishing rod, and to prevent undesired lateral shifting of the loop member thereon.
