A loop-supporting device is provided by an elongated handle and a resiliently deformable, elongated frame member of generally rectilinear configuration in its open position. A clasp is provided for disengagably securing the frame member in closed position of generally circular configuration, and the frame member has a plurality of line support elements spaced along the length thereof. With the frame member in its closed position, the loop of a line may be supported thereby, after which the loop and frame member may be positioned about a piling, as in a boat mooring operation. Drawing the frame member against the piling releases the engagement by the clasp and allows the frame member to return to its open, generally rectilinear position. This, in turn, permits release of the line and removal of the device with the loop remaining about the piling.
