  • Publication number: 20100212645
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a line tool device used for catching a line therein. The present device is generally comprised of two fixed plates, a fixed clamp, a movable clamp, a forward extension and a grip. The fixed clamp is located between and attached to the two fixed plates. The fixed clamp has one edge that contains a plurality of teeth. A movable clamp is pivotally attached to one of the fixed plates. The movable clamp also has one edge that contains a plurality of teeth. When the movable clamp pivots to a closed position the teeth attached to the fixed clamp and the teeth attached to the movable clamp meet and interlock. Additionally, the movable clamp contains a spring that allows the two sets of teeth to meet only when a force is applied to the device and a hand opening which allows the user to grasp the movable clamp. A guide is attached between and to the forward facing side of the two fixed plates. The forward extension contains at least one line guide that a lightweight line can pass over.
