Abstract
Abstract To provide means for attaching a line to a float or the like, a float tow line guide is provided which includes a forward portion or reel for storage of a line and a rearward portion or handle for guiding the line to a centrally located line passage means. This allows varying the length of line to be stored by the handle while at the same time providing a centrally located line discharge means to prevent twisting of the handle during use.
