Abstract
A fish hook or lure swivel eyelet and method of manufacture that allows for a quick and easy mounting of a hook or lure swivel eyelet onto and dismounting it from a fishing line whose end has been knotted. The eyelet is formed from a single section of steel wire as is appropriate to form a fish hook or swivel eyelet, and is slotted thereacross at a selected distance back from a forward end and the forward end portion is bent into a pair of side by side loops with the slot or slots aligning across opposing loop faces to form a slot or hole in the top of the loops that is essentially parallel to the lower portion of the section of steel wire. Which lower portion is formed into a hook or is wrapped around a pivot as a swivel eyelet.

A fish hook or lure swivel eyelet comprising a single section of steel wire of a gauge that is appropriate to form a fish hook or swivel eyelet whose end portion is laterally slotted a selected distance back from a forward end and is wound into a pair of side by side loops so that said slot is positioned at the top of the loop that is formed in said section of steel wire and said slot is parallel to a lower portion of said section of steel wire;
- and said lower portion of said single section of steel wire is formed into a hook end or is attached to a pivot as a swivel eyelet.
A method for manufacturing a fish hook consisting of, selecting a straight section of steel wire of a gauge that is appropriate to form a fish hook or lure swivel eyelet and forming at least one lateral slot thereacross at a selected spaced distance from a upper end of said straight section of steel wire;
- winding an upper end of said straight section of steel wire into a pair of side by side first and second loops where the lateral slot is at atop of one said loop and is adjacent to the other said loop, and which said slot is essentially parallel to a lower portion of said straight section of steel wire;
- and forming said lower portion of said straight section of steel wire into a barbed hook end.
A method for manufacturing a lure swivel eyelet consisting of, selection of a straight section of steel wire of a gauge that is appropriate to form a fish hook or lure swivel eyelet and forming at least one lateral slot thereacross at a selected spaced distance from an upper end thereof;
- winding an upper end of said straight section of steel wire into a pair of side by side first and second loops where the lateral slot is at a top of one said loops and is adjacent to the other said loop, and which said slot is essentially parallel to a lower portion of said straight section of steel wire;
- and forming said lower portion of said straight section of steel wire into a lure swivel eyelet by winding it around a pivot.
