Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Tom Hull worked for more than a year to make it easy for fumble-fingered boaters to say nuts to knots.

"We used to sit at Arrow Point and watch people tie up," Hull said. "I knew there had to be a better way."

The seed of an idea was planted, and Hull went to work designing and perfecting what would eventually become the Quickline. He just needed help to find the perfect knot to make his adjustable rope work the way he wanted.
