FISHLINE ATTACHING TOOL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishline attaching tool capable of preventing a fishline from breakage and also producible at low cost. SOLUTION: This fishline attaching tool 10 comprises an attachment pipe 16 attached to the ear tip 12a of a fishing rod 12, a socket-attaching shaft 18, a hook 20 and a socket 22. In this tool 10, the socket 22 comprises a tapering part 22a with a diameter expanding toward its tip and a straight part 22b extending forward from the tip, and when the tapering part 22a is hooked on the hook 20, the tip of the hook 20 is forwardly projected beyond the tip of the socket 22 and the projected part constitutes a hole 24 to be threaded with a fishline 14. The straight part 22b of the socket 22 is subjected to pressure contact with the curved portion 20b of the hook 20, preventing the socket 22 from undesired movement. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
