Need advise on lline for leaders

[mitrisin]

I like to tie my Capps & Coleman and other leaders ahead of time. The last time out I had a little more problem with my leaders getting tangled. I was using fluorocarbon line. I think a little less limp line might help. I was wondering what type, brand, and test line you usually use for your leaders. I usually use braid line on my reels so I'm not concerned with casting properties.

Have you tried to use one of these? I use this simple device to hold all my pre-tied drop shot rigs, for smallmouth fishing. Works great!

I've been searching for leader holders like these for quite some time now. Anyone have the source for these, or the name of the manufacturer? Much appreciated! Google brought the images up, but didn't offer any additional information.

I use Pline mono 10#. Are they tangling while fishing or stored? I store my pre ties on little plastic snell holders from TJ's tackle. They are cheap and efficient. If you are having problems while fishing...try shortening your hook leaders. I found that if my bottom hook is more than 8 inches below the weight, it will tangle. Same goes for the top hook.

This thread is from 2yrs ago ... and the item is a "Tackle Tamer". And according to my research, "Tackle Tamer" merged with Northland Fishing Tackle a few months after this thread was posted. They still offer such a product -- Northland Fishing Tackle: TEAM NORTHLAND&reg TACKLE TAMER™

What many have done, though, is to buy the large diameter (3in) "pool noodle" ... cut it to size needed ... and wrap their leaders around it. A member friend of mine cuts a slit down one side of the noodle section, to the center hole, then uses zip ties on each end. He can pre-rig sinker/jig leaders, then push the sinker into the slit and wrap the leader around the noodle and then hook the jig into the noodle. If you just wanted to wrap a hook or jig on a leader line, you wouldn't need the slit & zip ties, but you may want to cut small slits into the noodle to place your loop knot or clip/swivel end of the leader (to initially hold it) then wrap the leader around until you could bury the hook into the noodle.
