I'm tired of tippet coming loose from the spools while I'm fishing. Gets tangled in everything. I usually carry 4 sizes hanging from my vest and there's always one looping around something.
I've been using pony tail holders that my daughter uses, but they just don't seem to hold. The bands that come with the leader stretch too easily.
Anyone have an idea. Someone sells a loop, but I know there's an easier way?

I don't wedge the tippet in the slot that is on the spool.
Rather than that, I wedge it in one side of the insert.
It's a much tighter fit and my line usually doesn't come out of it.

I use some of those elastic hair bands that are kind of like terry cloth, the smaller one fit nicely.

Thanks, that's what I've been using, but the tippett still sneaks around the side. I'll have to get one a little thicker.

A small piece of scotch tape works well as long as you don't get it wet. Just unstick it to use, stick it back when you're done, replace as needed.
