DIY snell, rig & leader tamers....

[Aquaman01]

I use these to keep my snells tangle-free and easy to find. The 'system' is light, customizable in size and length, and fits into most standard depth plano, flambeau, etc. plastic cases.

1- get some scrap 3/4" inside diameter foam pipe insulation - the black stuff.

2- finish the perforated slit

3- cut to desired length

4- put the loop or swivel end of the snell, leader or rig in the slit

5- wrap line around foam and stab hook in to secure snell.

Now take the $15.00 you saved and put it in the jar marked "New Rod from MidWest".

Okay, I'm confused. In #2 'finish the preforated slit'. Huh?

I was going to make some also. But then i found a nice one at wally world for 5 bucks. Has eyelets for the hook then you wrap your line around it and hold it down with valcro! The ends even come off for storing swivels and such. Less hassel then i was going to do making one and more time on the water.
