A retractable line storage device (10) is disclosed. Most particularly the device provides a storage and automatic retrieval device for mooring lines as used on small boats. A hollow housing (18) and more specifically its spindle 26 is adapted to retain reel (28). A mooring line (14) is secured to and wrapped around the reel. The free end of the mooring line passes through top plate (12) and is attached to semi-spherical handgrip (16). A cup (15) is formed in the upper surface of top plate (12) for reception of the handgrip thus providing a flush mounting wherein no part of the device protrudes above the surface of top plate (12) when the line is in its retracted position. Finger grip sumps (19) are provided for access to the fingergrip. A helical spring (31) is attached to housing (18) and to reel (28) for automatic rewinding of the line (14) when storage of the line is desired. A cover plate (29) is provided to facilitate access to the parts contained within housing (18).
