Abstract
Abstract A fishing device including a fishing body member and an attachment portion. The attachment portion has elongated flat surfaces with spaced apart openings where the openings having differently sized diameters, i.e. one opening is larger than the other. The smaller opening is appropriately sized to permit threading the line through the smaller opening and is tapered or frusto conically shaped so that the end of a fishing line is easily insertible through the larger opening and so that the fishing line knot can be made in the line after it exits from the small end of the tapered opening.

Independent Claim
178 words
A fishing device connector system wherein the fishing device has an elongated rigid attachment portion disposed along a longitudinal axis, said attachment portion having spaced apart transverse openings disposed along said longitudinal axis with said openings being sized to receive a fishing line, one of said openings having a papered wall surface with an entrance diameter portion sized to readily accept a smaller diameter fishing line and with an exit diameter portion sized only slightly larger than the diameter of the fishing line so that the fishing line is easily passed through said one opening from the larger entrance diameter portion to the smaller exit diameter portion and so that a knot can be tied in the fishing line at a location adjacent to said exit diameter portion to provide an obstruction for securing said fishing line to said attachment portion, and said other opening having an entrance diameter portion sized which is larger in diameter than said exit diameter portion and has a diameter to readily accept easy passage of the fishing line through said other opening.
