Everyone I know including myself uses small ziplock bags to store bottom
rigs when they are not in use.
I guess it works OK for keeping them separated and labeled for the next use,
but inevitably, they tangle up in the bags, and if you put them away a
little damp, they stay that way...even with the bag not zipped. There's
gotta be a better way.
Anyone have a better solution for storing their bottom rigs?
Thanks!
Gary

There is a hollow black rubber tube that has geen end caps for storing
leaders etc.. Works great for salmon mooching rigs and my halibut
trolling
rigs. They are on boat, so can not look up name. The hollow center
is
great for stoing small weights, etc.

Sounds like the long foam float tubes they sell for kids to use in
swimming pools might work the same way if cut to size.

Nope. Is a dense black rubber. Has ribs along the tube and a raised
tab
for the leader to connect.
