A releasable lure and hook securing device that can safely and securely hold the fishing hook or lure close to the fishing rod when the fishing rod is not being used for fishing.

EZ Fishhook is a faster and easier way to insert and hold the fishing line within the eyelet hole. The eyelet channel opening from the shaft into the eyelet hole compresses the fishing line while passing through eyelet channel. Once the fishing line is inside the eyelet hole, the fishing line diameter decompresses to the same size of the eyelet hole diameter; thus, the fishing line is held tight within the eyelet. The fishing line, with the fishing line knot, is pulled I through the eyelet hole until the fishing knot is tight against the eyelet. The fishing line knot is held outside the eyelet due to the fishing knot being larger than the eyelet hole. The tight fit between the fishing line diameter and the eyelet hole diameter holds the fishing line knot tight against the eyelet while fishing.

A multi-function tool includes a body, a clearing pin fastener, and a line holder assembly. The body includes a through-hole extending from a first surface to a second surface and defined by a threaded sidewall. The clearing pin fastener includes a head, a pointed end portion, and a threaded shank that is located between the head and the pointed end portion. The line holder assembly includes a line holder including a slit formed between a top portion and a bottom portion and configured to receive a line and a frame including a pair of opposing surfaces configured to hold the line holder in compression. The threaded shank is removably attached to the threaded sidewall so that the head is adjacent the first surface and the pointed end portion extends outward from the second surface. The line holder assembly is configured to rotate relative to the body about a pivoting axis.

A fishing tool includes a main body and a holding assembly coupled to the main body. The holding assembly includes a bottom holding jaw and a top holding jaw rotatably coupled to the bottom holding jaw and movable relative to the bottom holding jaw between an open holding position and a closed holding position to selectively hold a fish hook in place. The holding assembly is rotatable relative to the main body and configured to be secured relative to the main body in a fixed number of positions.

A fishing tackle connector comprises first and second ends separated by a rigid elongated central member. The first and second ends are each wider than the central member and comprise respective through openings. At least one of the ends is angled with respect to the central member. The first end is adapted to secure a portion of terminal tackle such as a snap swivel. The second end is adapted to receive a fishing line. In some embodiments, the respective first and second end through openings are arranged such that both through openings face a front side of the fishing tackle connector. In others, first and second end through openings are arranged in a ninety degree relationship. In another embodiment, the second end comprises a widened stub portion. In another aspect, a fishing tackle connector assembly comprises the fishing tackle connector and a snap swivel.
