Yall are both better fishermen than I, but....line holder clips...
This year ice fishing I had an idea. I zipped a small zip tie around my rod down by the reel, below the little hook-keeper clip, and clipped it off about 1-1/2" long. You can open your bail and hook the line around that. You can even rotate it, modifying it's position, and thereby the amount of "tug" it takes to free the line. You can also curl it a bit with your thumb and it'll hold line as snug or loose as you want it.
I used this while wiper fishing to get at least one good bob of the rod tip, but then allow the fish to take off.
