Abstract
A fishing implement has a generally elongated, substantially cylindrical body with at least one substantially axial slot and at least one or a series of interconnecting substantially radial slots extending along its length. The slots generally alternate from axial to radial along the length of the body, with each slot extending approximately to the longitudinal axis of the body. The alternating axial and radial slots form a circuitous passageway for readily threading a fishing implement to a fishing line in a fixed position and easily removing it thereafter, while the terminus wall of the axial slot or slots form a central straight passageway through the implement so that the fishing sinker is also capable of free sliding movement along the fishing line.
