How do you store leaders?

Wrap them around a wine cork.

I roll them and twist so when you're done they make a circle about the size of a beer can and put them in a zip lock

Takes too long to rig when you're on the fish.....

I have a pouch in my tackle bag for them.

i always have a leader on my 3 rods anyway so I don't need to re rig

i use a long leader so i can snip all day if i'm constantly changing

Why are leaders necessary?

water clarity, toothy fishes, barnacle encrusted rigs, oyster reefs, etc., etc.

I rarely use them, but it's better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them.

What is different about the leader from normal monofilament?

Stuff is harder than the fill type mono.

What I use is actually made for storing soft plastics. It's a bunch of sealable plastic Ziplock type bags in a zippered case. It's about the size and looks very similar to the cd wallets of the pre iPod days.

THIS! The one I had was a plastic worm bag.

I have a piece of PVC with pipe insulation around it. Start with the swivel end and wrap around then bury the hook in the insulation. Works great and will never get tangled. use the same device for double rigs, and even pre-rigged corks. Also put a piece of insulation on the bar across my center console so I can stick spoons, swim baits, etc. for quick access.
