Split ring, safety pin, paper clip. They all make hook holders when strapped to the rod. Just put a 90deg bend in one end of the clip or pin. A paper clip or safety pin can also be used as an emergency replacement guide eye (especially at the tip of the rod.)
good possibility the pressure of the split ring could cause a stress fracture on the blank specially if you use pliers to tighten down. they make zip ties that have a anchor hole on them, best off with one of those.
