IMHO, the bungee isn't needed. I shoot a 110 esclapez w/ a reel. Like you most of the time it's not needed but when it is, it sure is handy. I'm not sure how your reel is mounted but maybe a little friction tape or something like that between the mount and the barrel would help. You could also tiewrap the swivel side of your clip to the line guide. Then there wouldn'y be any pull on your reel until you shot a big fish or one holed up and you break the tiewrap and then fight the fish w/ the reel. If you keep the drag tightened down it's almost a given you won't be able to loosen it when you shoot that monster and he's dragging you into the depths.
