Abstract
A hollow fishing hook that will avoid the use of knots entirely, simplifying the profile of the fishing hook, making it easier for the end user to attach the leader line to the hook, simplifying manufacturing, reducing the propensity of the hook to catch debris in the water, and creating less auditory and visual distraction of the fish.
