Erik,

I have the SAME problem with pips, which is why I came here asking questions a couple weeks ago about it! I get my Pip all nice and neat with pre-tied leaders, take one out to get set to fish, and the line might as well explode inside!!! Then I have a MESS!!!

Gear management is my MAIN frustration when river fishing!!! It seems like 1/2 or more of my time is spent trying to get SET to fish or roll up a leader or tie a jig!!! I LOVE it once I'm SET to GO, but arghhhh...gettting there!!!

One of the guys said he uses gummy tape...the kind that only sticks when wet that you pack shipping boxes with works well...I think a leader wallet is the next thing I'm gonna try!!!

Lots of maintanence!!! But isn't it FUN!!!???

Take Care and enjoy the day!!!
