How do you guys store pre tied leaders? I learned the value of having them pre tied as a couple of my first outtings, I spent as much time tying them as I did fishing. I have just been tying them and holding them with a twist tie in my tackle box.

I am getting kind of sick of toting around the tackle box and a bag of roe and am looking to streamline my approach so I can be more mobile.

Invest in a Pip box,  it is a small case where you easily store 15 leaders and access them without tangles. You can find them at most local fishing stores for around 15 bucks.

hook end in the top of the cheap foam floats and line wrapped on it however works best for you....thats what i've used for awhile now and love the easy and simplicity of it!

Pips leader box definately is the way to go.

Pre tying a bunch of leaders of different size hooks and test all at once while having a beer at home with good lighting sure beats wastin time on the flow attempting to tie with frozen fingers.

Thanks guys, I will have to pick up one of these pips containers. I will also get one of those little containers that go on the waders for bait and I should really be lightening the load.

X5 I found my first pips box on the river one time. For a couple months I didn't even know what it was for, lol then I realized that the lid turned around indefinitely and wondered why...then I figured it out! Its really a great thing. Before that I was using styrofoam or squares of cardboard.

I'd also highly reccomend a vest, tackle boxes are a pain

I have used the Pip Box before, and the Tackle Buddy is 10x better, been using the same 1 for at least 5 years and still goin strong.  Same size as a Mars Bar..

I just use the blue foam leader boards, have been working ok for me. I have a couple of them tied up with different rigs eg: worms, spinners, bait hooks etc... But you definitely need to have leaders prepared before you go.

Started out using empty hook packages. Have tried a pips box a couple of times...didn't care for it. Right now using a leader board  that I got last Christmas. When that gives out I'll go back to wrapping them around a white dink float.Mark the end(s) with a black Sharpie as to hook size/line test.

With using a dunk float, how do you keep the end opposite the hook from just hanging loose and unravelling with it wrapped around?

A rubber band works well. Wrap it right and you just pull the hook out and leader comes without tangling as well while the rubber band holds the other leaders in place still.

Or you can start with the tag end, do your wraps, and secure on float with hook. No loose ends.
