Erik, I too use both the Pip's dispencer and foam pipe insulation and encounter the same problems. Yet, why are we complaining? As far as I know these are the best leader storage systems for short and long leaders respectively. I have a Finsport leader wallet, but it's too bulky. Besides, if I lost this in the river it would ruin my day because of it's price$$$ This one only holds backbouncing rigs now. To counter problems with the aforementioned two, I ONLY use Pips with 12-18 inch leaders, and after wrapping leaders onto the insulation I put it into a ziplock. The ziplock helps prevent the rolls from jostling around too much in your vest pocket, and at the VERY LEAST keeps the tangled mess confined into a plastic bag..LOL
