ABSTRACT:
A clip for attaching fishing hooks, lures, or other objects to a line. The clip comprises an elongate body having a central support member bridging first and second loop portions formed at either end thereof; a first arm member that is an extension of the first loop portion and that ends in an overturned u-shaped hook; and, a second arm member that is an extension of the second loop portion and that ends in a ring. The ring is positioned below and adjacent to the central support member and in a plane approximately perpendicular to the first and second loop portions. When the clip is open the overturned u-shaped hook is disengaged from the remainder of the clip. When the clip is closed the overturned u-shaped hook is received upwardly through the ring and around the central support member with the free end of the overturned u-shaped hook protruding downwardly back through the ring.
