Abstract: The present invention is a line handling device designed to facilitate positioning and handling of a mooring or docking line during a boat docking operation. The device employs a pair of arc-shaped spreader arms connected to an extendable pole. Each arm has a sleeve shaped to fit the pole. A fastening bolt passes through each sleeve, extending through the pole to secure the spreader arms to the distal end of the pole. A plurality of support tabs extend from an outer wall of each spreader arm and retaining posts extend orthogonally from each tab. While attached to the handle, the spreader arms form a U-shaped frame which is used to shape and hold the looped end of a mooring line so that it may be placed around a piling or dock cleat. Withdrawing the device away from the piling or cleat leaves the looped-end of the mooring line securely in place. Each arm includes a plurality of apertures or receiving holes sized to frictionally engage stacking pins.
