Abstract
Abstract A jig to aid in tying a knot in a line or cord, for example for knotting a fishing line onto a connector means or a hook. The jig is a hollow tubular member with the ends cut at 45* angles and provided with a notch in the cut end and a hole adjacent the notch. In use, the line is laid along the side of the jig, passed through the eye of the fish hook or connector which preferably is laid in the notch, wrapped in several loops, usually three, around the jig and has the end of the line threaded through the hole. When the jig is cleared by slipping the loops off of it, the end of the line is pulled through the convolutions and the ends of the line can then be drawn tight to complete the knot.
