- stonfo adaptor
-
a plastic connector used to connect the elastic, q.v., in a pole to the fishing line. The adaptor has a hook where a loop made in the end of the fishing line attaches and a sleeve that pulls down over the hook to lock the rig in place. The elastic in a pole should be tight enough to hold the stonfo adaptor snugly to the pole tip but retain enough stretch for a fish to pull it out
