I generally use Orvis Super Strong Nylon leaders (usually 9ft, 4x -

As do I. I've been using Super Strong mono for about 20 years and
they are my favorite. I wouldn't worry about memory - I simply
stretch the leader in my hands before putting it on and consider the
memory a very minor problem.

I bought a leader wallet 20 years ago. I used it for one season and
found little use for it. Instead I store extra leaders in a handy
little inside pocket of my vest. Works for me. And yes, they get wet
as I do. If I'm not wet, I'm not catching fish. I have some great
water proof fly boxes. d;o)
