ABSTRACT:
A jig for tying Bimini twists has two fishing line sections. The first section, which extends from the second section, has clip attachments near its end for retaining the fishing line to be tied. Similarly, the second section has a clip attachment near its end also, for retaining the fishing line. The second section also has outwardly extending arm members, slotted at their ends and held in position by a spring which creates a compressive force within the second section. An adjustable nut and bolt against which the spring provides the compressive force, is used to adjustably move the arms inward and outward in relation to the second section. While the jig can be constructed as one unitary member with first and second sections, it is contemplated that the sections would be separable and that the first section would extend out of the second section. Additionally, a fishing line extension component is provided for tying Bimini twists for larger loops. The extension is stored within the first and second sections when not in use.
