Fishing line stops are disclosed. Fishing line stops illustratively include a lid and a main body. The lid has inner and outer walls. The lid outer wall forms a portion of an outer surface of the fishing line stop. The lid inner wall has first and second surfaces. The lid inner wall first and second surfaces are separated from each other by a lid offset that runs perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis. The main body has inner and outer walls. The main body inner wall forms another portion of the outer surface of the fishing line stop. The main body inner wall has first and second surfaces. The main body inner wall first and second surfaces are separated from each other by a main body offset that runs perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis.

1. 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
1. 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; andwherein 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. 2. The fishing line stop of claim 1, further comprising: a hinge that connects the lid to the main body, the hinge running parallel to the central longitudinal axis along a length of the fishing line stop. 3. The fishing line stop of claim 2, wherein the hinge has an outer surface that forms yet another portion of the outer surface of the fishing line stop, wherein the lid inner wall and the main body inner wall form a channel that runs along the length of the fishing line stop, and wherein the channel offset forms a pinch point in the channel. 4. The fishing line stop of claim 3, wherein the lid outer surface, the hinge outer surface, and the main body outer surface form a smooth continuous surface that runs along an outer periphery of the fishing line stop, wherein the outer periphery includes two apertures, and wherein the channel extends between the two apertures. 5. The fishing line stop of claim 4, further comprising: a gap that runs parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the fishing line stop and to the hinge, and wherein an inner surface of the hinge is compressible into the gap. 6. The fishing line stop of claim 5, wherein the gap is within the interior of the fishing line stop when the lid is closed into the main body, and wherein the lid inner wall has a concave shape that runs along the length of the fishing line stop. 7. A fishing line stop comprising: a main body having a channel extending both generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the main body and into the main body from an outer surface of the main body, a first end of the channel that extends into the main body at a first outer portion of the main body and a second end of the channel that extends into the main body at a second outer portion of the main body, the channel having widths perpendicular to a length of the channel, a width of the channel at a bottom portion of the channel being greater than a width of the channel at an upper portion of the channel, the bottom and upper portions of the channel being connected together through smooth rounded convex corners that run along the length of the channel, the channel including a channel offset that extends transverse to the length of the channel and divides the channel into a first portion and a second portion, the first and the second portions each having a depth which is different from the depth of the other, the first and second portions having lengths that run along the length of the channel, the lengths of the first and second portions being approximately equal;a lid including a wedge extending from a top portion of the lid, wherein a shape of a portion of the wedge and a shape of the main body are congruent such that when the lid is aligned and engaged with the main body, the wedge engages with the main body in a portion of the channel, wherein an outer width of a bottom portion of the wedge is greater than the width of the channel at the upper portion of the channel and is less than the width of the channel at the bottom portion of the channel, the lid including a lid offset that divides the wedge into a wedge first portion and a wedge second portion, the first and the second portions of the wedge each having a height which is different from the height of the other, the first and second portions of the wedge having lengths that run along the length of the channel, the lengths of the first and second portions of the wedge being approximately equal; andwherein the channel offset and the lid offset form a pinch point having sharp angular corners that are separated from each other by a distance that is less than a width of a fishing line when the wedge is engaged in the portion of the channel. 8. The fishing line stop of claim 7, further comprising: a flexible hinge interconnecting the lid to the main body that enables the lid to be rotated into and out of the main body such that a fishing line can be placed into and taken out of the channel. 9. The fishing line stop of claim 8, wherein the flexible hinge has a pivot axis that is aligned in parallel to the channel, and wherein the bottom portion of the wedge has a convex shape that is configured to center the fishing line within the fishing line stop when the lid is rotated into the main body. 10. The fishing line stop of claim 9, further comprising: a gap that runs along the length of the channel; andwherein an overall width of the fishing line stop is configured to be less than an inner diameter of a fishing pole eye such that the fishing line stop can be reeled through the fishing pole eye. 11. The fishing line stop of claim 10, wherein the gap is located between the main body, the lid, and the flexible hinge, and wherein an overall length of the fishing line stop is greater than the overall width of the fishing line stop such that the fishing line stop has an approximately cylindrical shape. 12. The fishing line stop of claim 11, wherein the main body, the lid, and the flexible hinge form a smooth continuous outer surface of the fishing line stop, and wherein the fishing line stop is made from a thermoplastic resin material. 13. The fishing line stop of claim 12, wherein a fishing line is positioned within the fishing line stop, and wherein the lid offset and the channel offset prevent the fishing line stop from sliding along the fishing line when the lid is in a closed position, and wherein the fishing line is able to be removed from the fishing line by rotating the lid into an opened position.
