ABSTRACT:
A single piece wire winding tool for winding a first part of a wire about a second part of the wire while providing a loop in the wire intermediate the first and second wire parts. One of the contemplated uses is that of making wire leaders for fishing tackle. The tool has a longitudinal axis, a slotted end defined by cheeks with their inner surfaces being the sided of the slot, and a hole formed with its axis perpendicularly skew to the tool's longitudinal axis and extending through the cheeks and therefore opening through the slot. The method aspect of the invention relates to the manner of using the tool to accomplish the desired winding of the wire. The wire to be wound has the first part laid in the slot and extending beyond the slot to provide the remainder of a leader. The second wire part is inserted through the hole and extends for a relatively short distance beyond the hole. The portion of the second wire part within the slot is positioned so that the wire first part is contained between that portion of the wire second part and the base surface of the slot. While the wire loop is held against rotation, the tool is moved to rotate about the wire first part which is within the slot, and this causes the part of the wire second part which is outside of the hole and adjacent the loop to be spirally wound about the wire first part in the portion of it that is between the loop and the portion lying in the slot.
