I've just put into practice an idea that might be of use to others.
I had 4 Berkeley boxes and the spools that come with fireline and vanish.
Along the side of the box one inch from the top I drilled a hole with my smallest drill bit and pushed the end of the flourocarbon out through the hole and then the top of the box I folded over and sticky taped down.
I did this with the 2lb & 4lb Vanish and with two empty Fireline boxes I spooled other leaders (siglon etc ) on the empty spools.
Now I have the four boxes sitting in the top of my Plano and to get some new leader all I have to do is open the Plano and pull out the required leader and snip it off leaving an inch to grab next time.
The spools just revolve nicely in the box and its like having four automatic leader dispensers.
It really is hassle free and I love it!!!
Cheers,
Jim
