Abstract
An item of fishing tackle comprising a compressible connector adapted to attach said item of fishing tackle to a fishing line, wherein the compressible connector comprises a wall defining an elongate cavity having an opening at one end thereof, the cavity being adapted to receive a portion of fishing line through the opening, and wherein the wall is adapted to be compressed inelastically towards the portion of fishing line inserted into the cavity to secure the said portion of line therein.
Claims14
An item of fishing tackle comprising:
- a hook having a bend with a first end and a second end, the first end comprising a point;
- a compressible connector disposed at the second end of the bend to create a shank, the shank being adapted to attach the item of fishing tackle to a single linear fishing line, the shank comprising a wall defining an elongate cavity having an opening at a first end thereof, the cavity being adapted to receive a portion of single linear fishing line through the opening, and the wall being adapted to be compressed inelastically towards the portion of fishing line inserted into the cavity to secure the portion of line therein;
- and
- a bush element disposed the first end of the compressible connector, the bush element being adapted to distribute lateral forces exerted on the fishing line.

An item of fishing tackle comprising:
- a hook having a bend with a first end and a second end, the first end comprising a point;
- a compressible connector disposed at the second end of the bend, the compressible connector being adapted to attach the item of fishing tackle to a fishing line, the compressible connector comprising a wall defining an elongate cavity having an opening at a first end thereof, the cavity being adapted to receive a portion of fishing line through the opening, and the wall being adapted to be compressed inelastically towards the portion of fishing line inserted into the cavity to secure the portion of line therein;
- and
- a force distribution element disposed the first end of the compressible connector, the force distribution element being adapted to distribute lateral forces exerted on the fishing line, the force distribution element comprising a bush sitting externally of the wall of the connector and comprising an end portion that extends partially or fully over the edge of the wall presented at the opening of the cavity, thereby providing a radius on the edge of the wall presented at the opening.
1 more element
An item of fishing tackle comprising:
- a force distribution element that is adapted to be associated with another item of fishing tackle to distribute lateral forces exerted on a fishing line connected to the other item of fishing tackle, the force distribution element comprising a bush having:
- (i) an enlarged, rounded end section for distributing lateral forces exerted on the fishing line, (ii) an internal step that is positionable against an end of the other item of fishing tackle, and (iii) a sleeve portion that surrounds the end of the other item of fishing tackle.
