Claim 1
Independent Claim
215 words
A line threading device for attaching lines to fishing lures comprising a. A first and a second plate 1. The said first and second plate, each having a cone-shaped indentation extending downwardly from the upper surface of each of the said plates at a first end of each of said plates, the said cone-shaped indentations in each plate nesting each with each other so as to firmly hold the eyelet of a fishing lure and 2.
