Abstract
A fishing line limit (10) includes a body (12) having an outer margin (14) that is ovoid or capsule-shaped. The body (12) has a notch (16) that extends substantially radially inwardly relative to the major axis (13) of the body (12). The notch (16) receives a fishing line (30) to attach the fishing line limit (10) by frictional engagement at preselected locations along the length of the fishing line. The notch (16) has a transverse dimension which is less than the relaxed diameter of the fishing line. The outer margin (14) defines a predetermined diametral dimension that exceeds the inside diameter of an eyehole of a bobber or other object.
