ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of attaching a flexible line to a fixed object by use of an improved attachment shank with angled and spaced apart attachment coils. The attachment shank is based upon a one piece shank having at least three angled and spaced apart coils, along with an end coil, formed at one end of the shank with the other end of the shank typically forming a hook, clasp, or the like. The spaces disposed between the angled coils allow for windable insertion of the open end of a loop of fishing line between the spaces. The closed end of the loop extends towards the hooked end and a strand of the loop is wrapped around the shank at least four times. The line extend from the coils and the hook are then pulled in opposite directions which pulls the wound line taunt about the shank and angled coils. The line is thereby tightly secured to the shank through frictional engagement which increases with tension, yet does not unnecessarily bend or bind the attached line.
