ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention may include a line support system that may have a support member with an elongate body that may form a loop. The support member may be configured such that a positive biasing force may be provided at a distal end of the line support. The support member may have a first support arm and a second support arm that may be biased to abut one another and may be further capable of separating at the distal end of the line support when a sufficient force may be applied that overcomes the biasing force. The line support may also have an alignment retainer located at the distal ends of the first and second support arms that may be capable of assisting in positioning the first and second support arms in abutment so that they do not scissor. A bias adjustment mechanism may also be provided that may be selectively positionable about the first and second support arms and further may be configured such that the biasing force may be selectively adjustable.
