Good question
I have tried putting a rubber band on the spool when I have it wound almost up and then hook the treble in the rubber band. That helps a bit but it would be nice if tip ups had a hook keeper of some kind on them. Hopefully somebody has some other ides for this problem.....

Well, i just tie a swivel to the line. I don't really bother using leaders because the line is very hard to knick or cut. When i am done, i just take the treble off the swivle and put a rubber band on the spool so that the swivil is underneath the band (so there is no loose swivils getting caught on things) and then when I go back to fish i just put my treble back on.
Hope this helps

Have tried many different things but the best is to put a small brad(nail) into the tip up. Hook the hook on it the wind tight. This works great on my beaver dams, don't know about the other styles.

I use the polars and what I did was glue a small strip of cork onto the legs of the trap. I stick the hook in there. Still can tangle with the other tip-ups if you have a treble on but keeps it from sticking into the ice line.

drill a small hole in the end of a Beaver Dam and glue some cork in it. Also heard of people screwing a small eye bolt onto the tipup and hooking the treble hook to that.

Take a couple of zip-ties and place them around the tip-up. that wy you can slide the hook tight after you place the flag in the slot.

When I wind up the spool of my beaver dam I hook the thimble on the spool. When the tip up is folded up I continue to take up the last slack and put the flag wire in the available hole of the spool to hold tension. At this time the thimble is held tight to the wooden edge of the tip up. I hope this is understandable!
Then what works really cool is to modify a "Hi-Tech" tip up case to hold my 6 tip ups. Which neatly rolls them together for storage.

Look at the thread "Keeping Treble Hooks Out Of Everything" This works extremely well for me.

I tried zip ties a couple years ago and they didn't work well for me. I had better luck using rubber bands.

For treble hooks order the plastic hook protectors from bass pro shops or cabelas they cover all of the hook and with an elastic band stay on the spool. Also protects you from getting tangles amongst traps and keeps hooks from sticking you.

I used a hot glue gun and glued a hearing protection ear plug ( like you would use in a noisy work place ) to my tip-up and push the hook into that. It works pretty good.

The "HT" Tipups have a grat piece of material on the spool that holds a treble hook EVERY Time. They are also one of the best for not getting false flags & never fail to pop up when a fish is on(Like the frabill does)

After fishing past dark the other day ahd the temp and wind were not to my liking I had put the tipups back in my box with out being able to see to well. A few days later I went out again and had a real mess. Infact I had to use my backup set. Well that nite I got on this thread and read all the ideas I could find. At that point I found some wine bottle corks (great excuse to drink)cut them in half and glued them to my wooden cross tipups. (When you do this make sure you find what side will not affect the folding, flag and spool.) Used my wife's waterproof craft glue. since then It has helped cut down time on setup and teardown. The big thing is I can now do it with my gloves on!

Good wide elastic bands, like the kind they use on lobster claws.
