Abstract
A knotless fishing line connection system employs one or more knotless fishing line connectors. Each knotless fishing line connector includes an engaging member coupled to a socket member configured to receive and lock the engaging member. The knotless fishing line connector can be used to secure a fishing line to a fishing hook. Another such knotless fishing line connector can be used to connect the fishing line to a swivel connector or the like. A fishing rig can include a fishing leader line having a first engaging member and a second engaging member on opposite distal ends thereof. The rig can further include a fishing hook having a first engaging member configured to receive and lock the first engaging member and a swivel connector or the like having a second engaging member configured to receive and lock the second engaging member.
