A fishing swivel according to one embodiment of the invention is a fishing swivel for connecting a main fishing line and a leader includes a first connecting portion connected with the main line, a second connecting portion connected with the leader, and a main body rotatably coupled to the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. In the embodiment, the first connecting portion has a first contact portion that contacts the main body, the second connecting portion has a second contact portion that contacts the main body, the main body has a main body contact portion that contacts the first contact portion and the second contact portion. A plating layer containing fluororesin is provided on surfaces of the first contact portion, the second contact portion, and the main body contact portion.

A line attaching apparatus, system and method for attaching to a line end without the need for tying a knot. The invention further comprises a line attaching apparatus, system and method for attaching to a first line end portion to a second line end portion without the need for tying a knot. The line end portions may be captured in a collet having a line retention and a line insertion/removal state. The collet may be biased into a line retention state by a biasing force that causes the collet to close around a line, preventing the line from translating within the collet. The line insertion/removal state may be achieved by motivation of a plunger against the biasing force, allowing the collet to open so that a line moves freely within the collet opening. An exemplary, non-limiting use is the attachment of a lure or hook to a fishing line.

A fishing assembly that is configured to provide suspension of two baits wherein the present invention is utilized in bottom fishing. The present invention includes a first hook rig and a second hook rig operably coupled to a main line. A connector is present at one end of the main line and is configured to be secured to a fishing line. Opposite the connector on the main line is a coupling for a weight. The first hook rig and second hook rig include T-shaped hook support members. First bead members are adjacent the first portion of the hook support members. Float members are mounted on the main line adjacent the first bead members. Adjacent to the float members opposite the first bead members are the second bead members. The float members, first bead members and second bead members can be provided in alternate sizes, shapes and colors.

A clip for attaching a fishing line to a kite line. The clip mounts on the housing for loosely supporting the fishing line. The clip includes a pair of top rollers and a bottom roller aligned in parallel during operation. The rollers rotate freely to prevent twisting of the kite line. The rollers do cooperate to hold the kite line and prevent axial motion between the kite line and the rollers of the clip. The clip is moveable between a locked configuration where the clip is secured axially to the fishing line and is capable of holding the fishing line, to an unlocked configuration that releases the fishing line. When bait at one end of the fishing line is hit or tugged, the clip releases both the fishing line and the kite line to enable the clip to slid down the kite line away from the kite and fishing line.
