pre made leader lines storage help

So do you guys tie on the rig with another swivel or line on line?

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

So simple.. how did i not think of this??

Cancel the dowel comment then. Slits it is!


bts.. i totally read that "slits" as something else and was seriously confused for about 2 seconds thinking "why am i putting slu... ohhh slits!!!"

I love slits!
Not my idea. My tackle tamer has them.

i have the float and shots on the main line tied to swivel tied to hook.

The swivel and hook are the pre-tied rig then while on location, main line to swivel gets tied.

I have slits as well as a piece of tube inside---the tube stiffens up the kit.

So that means you have to add the split shots every time? That doesn't seem like it would save you THAT much time

When its cold its a blessing. I sometimes pre tie leaders and wrap them around pieces of cardboard during winter.

..or when you gotta tie up fancy corky/bridie rigs, or whatever the heck they're called, it saves time.

I'd rather add split shots which are pretty easy and quick to do than to tie knots on those little hooks and swivels on the river. That shyte is time consuming!

Besides, split shots fall off and move around anyways (at least on my line) so you're messing with them regardless, no?

Spilt shots wont move if applied properly with enough force, but sometime you end up pinching the line which costs when it counts.

Split shots are the most time consuming part of my rig. Tying the hooks and swivels are easy. Ok how about this, next time u tie on my split shots and Ill tie your knots.
