Does anyone have any ideas how i might store a number of 1mtr fluorocarbon leaders without coiling them and kept under pressure/stretched?. The only idea i can think of is to use pipe lagging (pin each end of the leafer) but want the leaders protected in some form of case

Put the pipe lagging in a tube with caps at each end? Like a massive version of a float tube/Korda boom tube

Not sure if the diameter but something similar to this and cut down to the length you require

Would a Fox zig disc work? Sorry I didn't read that properly..you don't want to coil them!

Drain pipe?
Conduit pipe?
Velcro straps on a rod then attach the lagging around it?

In the US folk use swimming pool noodles to store their leaders on
You can also buy cheap fishing rod tubes on eBay just cut them to size.

One of them 2 1/2 inch Leeda tubes cut down with some 32mm waste pipe inside. Some elastic bands or similar on the waste pipe and bobs your aunties live in lover.

I usually hang them up at home with lead on end then put on rods when I'm going fishing. If I need a new one on bank I just put on a coiled one. Soon straightens out.

If you're making your own just use Rigmarole CamH20 - pulls straight under minimum pressure so you could keep them on winders / in a rig bin etc. Store all my barbel fluro sections exactly like this and they sit in a small tub in the rucksack - some are over 2m long

What about a small poster tube,I see college students carrying their art work in small extendable tubes too.They might be worth a look

Bamboo cane with a few rig clips wipped and taped each end. Make the cane an inch or so longer. Then bend to put leaders in. Like a bow. Then slide into length of waste pipe to protect. Tape one end up and then push something down the end to protect and put hole lot into rod bag.

Same here normally pin them to a wall,also if I've prettied bags I out each one in a good bag(just so it keeps the pva bag safe) also stopes tangling at any point
