Knot Tying Device

Abstract

Although several knot tying devices have been conceived to aid in the tying of fish hooks, all are generally complex, cumbersome, difficult to use, or ineffective. By utilizing a pistol grip device with front and rear stanchions and a hook mounting pad, one can easily and quickly tie a perfect fishing knot every time. The fishing line is inserted through the eye of the hook, around the stanchions, is looped twice around itself at the intersection between the stanchions and is simply pulled to set the hook while keeping the hook safely in the hook mounting pad to prevent accidental hooking of the person tying the knot.

One embodiment of the device relates to tying the knot which secures a fishing hook to fishing line. As any fisherman can attest, tying a sound knot is essential to ensuring that a fish that is hooked is ultimately netted. The process of tying a knot in fishing line is particularly difficult for children who may lack the dexterity and coordination required to tie a good knot.[0005]Past attempts to create a device to aid in the tying of knots, including fishing knots, have involved complex and cumbersome devices generally as hard to manipulate as the unaided knot tying itself.
