  • Apparatus for tying fishing line to a lure
    Patent number: 5598660
    Abstract: A piece of fishing tackle is attached to a fishing line, intermediate the ends of the line, by holding one portion of the fishing line stationary while looping the line at least one and one-half times around a transversely extending shoulder projecting from the fishing tackle piece. The shoulder has a circumferentially extending groove which allows the fishing line to be trapped in the bottom of the groove by the overlying loops, thereby securing the piece of fishing equipment to the fishing line.
