ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a knotless weight boom 1 for a fishing line 2 comprising an elongate body 7 having a laterally extending boom member 8 for use in weighting the boom 1, said body 7 having at least one longitudinally extending transverse slot or channel 12 having an inlet 13 provided, intermediate its ends 14, with generally tongue shaped elongate retainer 15 extending from the inlet 13 of the respective slot or channel 12 and having a root portion 16 extending laterally from one side of the slot or channel 12 at or in proximity to said inlet 13. The body 7 also has elongate outer groove means 11 extending longitudinally of the body 7, either side of the inlet 13 so as to define a substantially direct pathway for receiving the line 2, in use, with a loose sliding fit, said pathway extending along the base of the outer groove means 11 and the base 20 of an inner groove means 19, defined between the tongue shaped retainer means 15 and slot or channel side 17 to which its root portion 16 is connected. In use of the boom 1 a loop 22 can be taken in the line 2, fed into said inlet 13, and hooked over said retainer means 15, and the line 2 then pulled back to seat it in said pathway extending along said inner and outer groove means 19, 11 whereupon the boom 1 can freely slide along said line 2 while being substantially securely retained thereon.
