Hey guys recently got into center pin and was just wondering what is the best way to keep pre made leaders with split shots and hooks attached so in the event of a break I can easily and quickly get back to fishing. Thanks for having a look.

You can use a Lindy tackle tamer. The way i rig there is no shot on my leader, so When I break its usually just a hook, or a section of leader and a hook. One or two knots and your back in action

I also use tackle tamers, but some prefer the leader holders that fly fishermen use.

Thanks a lot guys I will most definitely look into those.

Lets try that one. It's just pipe insulation I had laying around. I've read some people use a dowel inside to keep it firm.. Put some nails in it to slip your swivel over it. Search for it on google and you'll get some ideas. It's pretty similar to the commercial ones out there. Works great.. Doesn't dull your hooks and light.

That's actually really cool ill try that out thanks for the help.

That's what I use as well. I happened to have some plastic tubing lying around that fit the ID pretty well.

[king_Fisher]

Hey knuguy do you find that something inside really helps out?

[Shmogley]

nice idea with that pipe foam.. gonna have to make one of these!

been using large pieces of cork up to now but that looks much easier/neater

[Pwnisher]

So I have been looking for corkies like the one in Shawarma's pic but I just can't seem to find them. Does anyone know where I can find them? I don't have the means to drive to BPS and I couldn't find them at Sail or LeBaron. Are there any other stores which carries them?

[Shawarma]

Have you tried any of the local tackle shops? You'd be surprised to what you can find. 

[Pwnisher]

I did try Angling Specialties but I will also try With A Fly tackle shop and Bronte Outdoor.

I think so, but I don't know for sure because I didn't make any w/o it. As I recall, they felt a bit floppy and I had the tube lying around so I inserted it. I'm sure you could find some plastic tube, or just buy a wood dowel.

[Shawarma]

Mine is without the dowel/plastic tube inside. I'm going to put a dowel or something else inside it so i can attach the swivels to a nail or something. Right now the swivel end just kinda hangs there, or tucked inside the pipe. It's awkward. 

[Swing4Steel]

If you put some small slits in the foam you can slip the swivel end in there
