Abstract: A fishing net is suspended from a corkline. A monofilament line is formed into three loops which are clamped together. The first of these three loops forms a knot around the corkline and the other two loops weave through the fishing net to hold it in place. The first loop is wound around the corkline in one angular direction for about one turn. It then crosses the portion of the first loop that is below the corkline. It then again passes around the corkline but in an angular direction opposite said one direction. Afterward, a limited portion of the loop that was wrapped around the corkline is free. The other loops are then passed through this free limited portion and the knot it tightened.

Abstract: A fishing net is held in place below a corkline by a series of holding devices. Each holding device has a crimped cylinder from which three loops extend. One of these loops may be tied around the corkline to position the crimped cylinder below the corkline. The other two loops cooperate with similar loops from other adjacent holding devices to position the fishing net below the holding devices.
