Abstract:

A body member has a plurality of pegs projecting integrally in spaced relation and in a line. These pegs form individual hooking pegs for swivels of elongated fishing leaders and also form wrapping areas therebetween for leaders which are wrapped in a direction parallel with the pegs. The body member has a puncturable surface whereby the fish hook end of the leader can be anchored by sticking the point of the fish hook into the body member. In one embodiment, the body member is rectangular and is formed of two halves secured adhesively together along the line of the pegs and holding the pegs in projecting integral relation. In another embodiment, the body member with the pegs is in the form of a drum mounted on the end walls of a box-like frame and having a crank handle on one end.
