Line holder apparatus

A line holder apparatus, comprising:

• a base panel member extending along and laterally from a longitudinal axis to define a plane and having an opening extending therethrough;
• a pair of first fingers connected to the base panel member and extending in a first direction parallel to the longitudinal axis, the pair of first fingers disposed laterally apart from one another forming a space therebetween;
• and
• a second finger connected to the base panel member and extending in a second direction opposite the first direction, the second finger sized for receipt within the space whereby the pair of first fingers and the second finger are operative to move to and between a stowed state whereby the pair of first fingers and second finger are disposed in the opening and generally juxtaposed to one another within the plane and an extended state whereby each one of the pair of first fingers and the second finger project outwardly from the opening at an acute angle relative to the base panel member.
