Abstract
Fishing tackle has a body with two ends, each end defining a respective groove. The fishing tackle also includes two fastening elements, each being movably connected to the body at a respective one of the ends. The first and second fastening elements are selectively movable between respective first and second positions with respect to the body. In their first positions, the fastening elements do not obstruct the grooves, thereby permitting a fishing line to be inserted into the grooves or removed from the grooves. In their second positions, the fastening elements obstruct the grooves, thereby retaining fishing line within the grooves.
