The line retainer includes a set of opposing legs extending into the slot from the first and second side walls adjacent the front and rear support walls and a first set of opposing arms extending into the slot from the first and second side walls adjacent the opening. The line retainer includes a second set of opposing arms extending into the slot from the first and second side walls between the first set of opposing arms and the set of opposing legs.
