Abstract: An apparatus for detachable connection to a fishing line is shown as having a guide structure with a first generally coiled guide portion and a second generally coiled guide portion which are respectively carried at opposite ends of a longitudinally extending shank-like body portion; a relatively flexible coiled element is situated about the shank-like body portion and axially contained between the first and second coiled guide portions, the entire apparatus is detachably secured to the fishing line by merely winding the fishing line through the first coiled guide portion then somewhat randomly winding the fishing line against the flexible coiled element and against the shank-like body portion about which the flexible coiled element is situated, and then winding the fishing line through the second coiled guide portion.

Abstract: An adjustable snelled hook assembly comprises a fishing line with a trailing hook secured thereto. An auxiliary hook has a shank, a barb and an eye loosely and slidably mounted upon the fishing line adjustably spaced from the trailing hook. A coil spring is mounted upon the shank and is generally parallel to the fishing line. A plurality of continuous windings of the line extend around and snugly engage the spring and shank to anchor the auxiliary hook upon the fishing line.
