Tangled Leaders
Saw this after responding on Blanton's BB. Here's my response there:
The foam board you mention appears to be for carrying separate, tapered leaders with a fly or flies already knotted on. So, I'm assuming that's what you're asking about. When I fished trout (many years ago) I used to prepare tapered leaders with flies knotted in and carried them on a circular piece a heavy paper that had a 1/4" slit around the edge, every inch. I could then slip a fly under the wraps to keep the leader from unwinding and becoming tangled. I kept the wheels/leaders in a zip-lock bag.
I would add that the diameter of the circular paper should be about 4". Hope this explanation isn't confusing.
