Whether halyard tails or docklines, sailors always have ropes to hang. A few ideas. Bags are good to, when there is room (the lines will grow more algae in a bag).
Button Line Holders from United Yacht Manufacturing are my favorites for halyard tails. Easy to adjust or replace the string. Nothing snags on them. Comfortable to lean against.
For dock lines and other spares, I like these DIY aluminum non-snagging holders installed in a locker. I can hang multiple lines on one hook by slinging the coils. I've used them on several boats without a failure. Strong and light.
Need a more heavy duty bender? Shif the spacing in the vice to adjust the radius. A bolt between them can help (home made).
Or really heavy duty. This is good up to 1/2-inch rebar and is what I used to make some of the yard art. Home made, but you can buy them (mostly lighter duty). Very handy.
