a second coil extending from said second end of said shaft, wherein each of
said first and second coils terminates in a free end;

a first line blocking structure provided between opposing portions of said
shaft and said first coil in order to prevent a line from passing between
said opposing portions of said shaft and said first coil; and

a second line blocking structure provided between opposing portions of said
shaft and said second coil in order to prevent a line from passing between
said opposing portions of said shaft and said first coil;

wherein each of said first and second line blocking structures comprises a
spot weld.

2. The construction line holder as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a
through hole formed in said shaft, wherein said through hole is for

a first coil extending from said first end of said shaft;

a second coil extending from said second end of said shaft, wherein each of
said first and second coils terminates in a free end;

a first spot weld provided between opposing outer peripheral surfaces of
said shaft and said first coil in order to prevent a line from passing
between said opposing surfaces of said shaft and said first coil; and

a second spot weld provided between opposing outer peripheral surfaces of
said shaft and said second coil in order to prevent a line from passing
between said opposing portions of said shaft and said first coil,

wherein said construction line is a braided construction line having a
first end secured in said through hole, said construction line being
wrapped on said elongated shaft in a figure eight pattern.
