Abstract

A fishing line to lure connector is an apparatus that eliminates the use of fishing knots to secure a desired lure to a fishing line. The apparatus includes a dial housing, a winding dial, a ratcheting mechanism, and a lure loop. The dial housing retains the winding dial, the ratcheting mechanism, and the lure loop as a single secure assembly. The winding dial facilitates the fastening of the fishing line to the apparatus without the use of fishing knots or other external tools. The ratcheting mechanism ensures that the fishing line is secured to the winding dial when the fishing line is coiled around the winding dial. The ratcheting mechanism enables the quick detachment of the fishing line from the winding dial. The lure loop enables the attachment of the desired lure to the dial housing so that the desired lure is secured to the fishing line by the apparatus.

Dependent claims

A fishing line to lure connector comprising:

a dial housing;
a winding dial;
a ratcheting mechanism;
a lure loop;
the dial housing comprising an open housing base, a closed housing base, a housing lateral wall, and an insertion hole;
the winding dial comprising a dial body, a first dial base, a second dial base, and a center channel;
the open housing base and the closed housing base being positioned opposite to each other about the housing lateral wall;
the first dial base and the second dial base being positioned opposite to each other about the dial body;
the insertion hole traversing into the dial housing through the housing lateral wall;
the lure loop being externally connected to the housing lateral wall;
the lure loop and the insertion hole being positioned opposite to each other about the housing lateral wall;
the center channel laterally traversing through the dial body, coplanar to the insertion hole;
the dial body being rotatably mounted within the dial housing;
the first dial base being positioned adjacent to the open housing base;
and
the second dial base being operatively connected to the closed housing base by the ratcheting mechanism, wherein the ratcheting mechanism is used to incrementally rotate the dial body in a first angular direction and is used to prevent rotation of the dial body in a second angular direction, and wherein the second angular direction is opposite to the first angular direction.
