The present invention relates to a fishing leader device comprised of a line, at least one hook, at least one weight, and at least one leader attachment member. The weight is positioned at the bottom of the leader above the hook to allow the hook and the leader to be pulled downward toward the bottom of a body of water to prevent tangles and snags. The device is also comprised of at least one bead that can attract fish, as well as protect the connection members from fish biting which can weaken the fastening.

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.

A fishing tool is provided for use in association with the performance of fishing and other similar activities, and more particularly, to a rod-mountable fishing tool exhibiting an integrated aesthetic appearance wherein aesthetic shapes and features also can serve multiple functions associated with tasks typically performed while fishing, such as cutting of lines, nipping of knots, tying of knots, storage of hooks and lines, and other tasks.

Apparatus for an attachment device for a fishing line. The attachment device includes an in-line snap and a piece of tackle. The in-line snap includes a shank, a bend, and a point. The bend extends from the shank and folds over to join the point at a gap portion where the bend contacts the shank. The point extends away from the shank, forming a channel to receive a continuous section of fishing line. A shaft extends between the shank and the piece of tackle. In various embodiments, a second in-line snap cooperates with the first in-line snap to support a piece of tackle between the two in-line snaps.

A method and assembly for knotting a line restrains a fishing line in a loose knot pattern while a knot or splice is formed in the fishing line to enable tightening the knot by stretching the line. The assembly includes a pair of cylinders having an external surface, a first end, and a second end. A pair of tubes encapsulate the pair of cylinders to provide a slip resistant surface. Two pair of caps comprising an open end and a closed end detachably attach to the first and second ends of the tubes. The caps include at least one flat surface region having a depression. One cap per tube includes a light emitting diode (LED) which enables hands free illumination while knotting or splicing line. Magnets are integrated into the cap depressions to enable magnetic attraction between tubes. Fishing line wrap around the tubes to enable knotting and splicing.
