Abstract
An elongated shaft configured to receive the expeditious attachment of a line thereto, the shaft having adjacent to a first end a short length radially extending post, the shaft having a recess therein at the first end so that thereby the portion of the shaft from about the position of the post to the first end is tubular providing a tubular wall, and a V-shaped notch formed in the tubular wall, the notch extending from about the post to the shaft first end, the notch being configured to provide a portion of the tubular wall that is tooth-like, the post serving to receive a loop from a bight of the line after which the bight can be wrapped around the shaft and then looped in the notch and beneath the tooth-like portion, an end of the line extending out the shaft tubular end.
