I'm happy to know that I wasn't alone in the baggie method.

Nice idea Big Fish. Thanks. I also just had a spool of Seagar and some swivels arrive yesterday. Perfect timing.

Problem for me is that the majority of my leaders (70%ish) have either a teaser (fly, redgil, cocahoe...) tied up top, or a 5/0 hook on the bottom for eels. I have yet to find a leader wallet I like.

None the less, I will use your idea for the remaining 30% that are just swivel and clip. THANKS!

BF, just a question...you use swivels to attach to plugs?
This wouldnt work for me because I tie direct.

No RIJimmy...plugs attach to breakaway clips...main line to swivel. Take a closer look!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

neat idea there larry.

i'm not a fan of swivels or clips, just a good homer rhode loop knot, but still a neat idea.

You don't fish many plugs probably Mike....swivels to reduce line twist and clips for quick changes are a must as far as I am concerned.
