A hook adapter for attaching a fish hook or lure to a fishing line without tying a knot is described. The hook adapter includes a wire having a first end wrapped into at least two coils that form a cylindrically coiled eye and an inlet guide between a first end of the wire and a first coil, an elongated body, a bend connecting the cylindrically coiled eye to the body, and a second end that is formed into a conic spiraled eye having a gap between the second end of the wire and an adjacent spiral. The hook adapter further includes a protrusion that is disposed on body. The body has sufficient space to wrap a fishing line multiple times around the body between the protrusion and the conic spiraled eye.
