Patent ID: 8196338

Claim:
A fishing line stop comprising: a lid having an inner wall, an outer wall, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall, the lid inner and outer walls extending between the lid first and second sidewalls, the lid outer wall forming a portion of an outer surface of the fishing line stop, the lid inner wall having a first surface and a second surface, the lid inner wall first and second surfaces being separated from each other by a lid offset that runs perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis of the fishing line stop, the lid inner wall first surface being a first distance away from the lid outer wall, the lid inner wall second surface being a second distance away from the lid outer wall, the first and second distances being different from each other, the lid first and second sidewalls connecting to the lid inner wall at rounded concave corners, the rounded concave corners running along the central longitudinal axis of the fishing line stop; a main body having an inner wall, an outer wall, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall, the main body inner and outer walls extending between the main body first and second sidewalls, the main body outer wall forming another portion of the outer surface of the fishing line stop, the main body inner wall having a first surface and a second surface, the main body inner wall first and second surfaces being separated from each other by a main body offset that runs perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the fishing line stop, the main body inner wall first surface being a third distance away from the main body outer wall, the main body inner wall second surface being a fourth distance away from the main body outer wall, the third and fourth distances being different from each other, the main body first and second sidewalls connecting to the main body inner wall at rounded convex corners that run along the central longitudinal axis of the fishing line stop; and wherein the lid inner wall first surface opposes the main body inner wall first surface and the lid inner wall second surface opposes the main body inner wall second surface such that the lid and the main body inner walls form a channel offset within an interior of the fishing line stop when the lid is closed into the main body.
