Multi-line fishing attachment
 A device for attaching a plurality of leaders to a single fishing line is disclosed. The device comprises a hollow, elongate, generally cylindrical body having axially opposed ends proximately and distally located with respect to the fishing line. An abutment is formed in the proximal end of the body. An axially displaceable clamping member is disposed within the body and a guide slot is formed in the proximal end of the body for guiding a fishing line between the abutment and the clamping member. The clamping member is spring biased toward the abutment into secure clamping engagement with a fishing line disposed therebetween. A stem disposed on the clamping member extends through the distal end of the body and includes means for securing a leader to the clamping member. When a fish strikes a lure disposed on the end of the leader, the drag of the fish pulls the clamping member away from the abutment, out of secure clamping engagement with the fish line to provide for relative movement between the body of the device and the fishing line received therein.
