Default Storing made up leaders

Whats the best way to store leaders that I have made up for a days fishing on a boat. Last time I suffered a few tangles and spent half my time either untangling or making new leaders. I don't want to miss half the drift this time. Any ideas for storing leaders or generally just being more organised are very welcome.

WO,

This is what a few lads in our team uses, cheap, and very handy, has plenty of room for leaders and little slots to store the droppers in.

Wytchwood used to market a Leeder Store some years ago which could take up to 5 leaders. Don't know why they stopped selling them.

Here is another alternative

I use foam pipe lagging, cut to 3" thickness.

You can buy a 3ft length for a couple of quid out of Homebase or B&Q.

Secure the leader tag end in the slit provided.
