I have a clothesline now and have that same stick. My line goes from a tree to the light pole and it sags in the middle when loaded. So I got a cedar 1X2, notched it on one end and prop up the line when needed. I'm sure there is a specific name for it but I can't remember it either. Clothesline poles are what usually hold the lines.
