ABSTRACT:
A hand-held knot-tying device used for forming fishermen's knots, such as blood knots, which are used to tie two fishing lines segments together. The device is flat with a base from which two spaced-apart legs extend at right angles. The device may be formed from an assembly consisting of congruent plates which are fastened together adjacently. The assembly also includes a medial member. The spaced apart legs of the assembly provide two sets of two nips into which the fishing line is wedged and held fast. The top portion of each nip is tapered so as to facilitate insertion of the fishing line segments. The medial member is manipulated on the device so as to form two sets of coils in the line segments on either side of the medial member. Following the aforesaid line manipulation, free ends of the line segments are clamped to the medial member which is then pulled through a loop formed between the coils so as to form a loose knot. The line segments are then pulled in opposite direction to tighten the knot while the free ends remain clamped in the medial member.
