A dual pivoted hook line stowing or flaking system is provided for storing coiled line either vertically as on a mast or horizontally as on a deck, in which both of the hooks contain tabs rotatable in a plane parallel to the plane of the loops from outwardly pointed positions to inwardly pointed positions. The rotation of the tabs to the interior of the coiled or looped line permits easy removal of the line for rapid lowering of the sails or to permit unfettered casting or throwing of the line from a coiled position on deck. In one embodiment, the pivoted hook includes a two part structure, with a fixed flange base and an integral fixed barrel into which is inserted a rotatable barrel with the top secured to the top of the rotatable barrel. The distal end of the rotatable barrel is provided with slots and an outwardly projecting slotted flange member, whereas the interior base of the flange includes inwardly projecting detents, such that the tab is realeasably secured against rotation until turned with a quick twist.
