ABSTRACT:
A hand-held hot-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 three 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 adjacent spaced-apart legs of the assembly provide three 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. While one free end of line to be joined remains held fast, the free end of the other is manipulated on the device and then clamped to the center legs. Then the free end of the other line to be joined is likewise manipulated and clamped to the center legs. Following both aforesaid line manipulations, the preliminary knot loop formed by the manipulations is manually lifted above the center legs of the plates and the lines are pulled tight to form a completed knot.
