ABSTRACT:
An improved line connector, of synthetic resin such as nylon, for a fishhook. The connector is a rod-like member having one end affixed to the shank of a fishhook. The improvement resides in the construction of the axial passageway and the knot pocket at the other end of the connector to hold the knotted end of a fishline. The improvement is to enhance the reliability and holding strength of both the connector and the line by providing a greater resilience of the connector to reduce the possibility of shock failure of either the connector or the knotted end of the line. A deep cone-shaped entrance of the passageway, at the end of the connector combined with a slotted side opening, forming a knot pocket, facilitates flexing of the seat within the pocket against which the knot is held and flexing of the sides of the connector against which the knot is pressed. This is especially important in avoiding undesirable stress concentration. A raised boss is extended about the slotted opening to functioin as a flexible buffer against cuts and dents as a tightly fitting knot is pulled into the slot pocket.
