ABSTRACT:
A line tending device includes a clutch hub that controls the paying out or extension of a line when the line is under tension. The clutch hub includes an O-ring around a hub outer surface and under which the line extends. The O-ring permits the line to extend in direction substantially parallel to the axis of the hub that supports the O-ring, but the O-ring exerts a load on the line to tighten and effectively clamp the line against an edge of a flange on the clutch to prevent the line from extending when the angle of the line relative to a hub axis exceeds a preselected amount. The line tending device, is adapted for providing floating markers in a body of water.
