What are you using these days and for what applications. I used to simply put all my leaders in small zip-locs and keep them in my surf bag, but that didn't really work when wetsuiting as I do not always carry a plug bag. I picked up a pair of Hunter leader wallets and have been less than happy with the zip-locs. several of them split almost immediatley upon use as the plastic is just too stiff. The Aquaskinz one looks ok, but I have not had the best of luck with AS products. I am really looking for something that is small enough to slip in the top of my wetsuit or clip to my belt when eeling without being too bulky, will keep the hooks dry to prevent rusting and will last long enough to be worth the investment. I have been thinking of maybe tearing out the zip-locs form my Hunters and having new ones sewn in, but have not located replacements yet.
