  • Patent number: 4514928
    Abstract: A fishing leader storage device having deep, generally opposed pairs of winding slots located on opposite sides of the device to receive the leader; and having an elastic spanning element located within and across the winding slots to provide tension to hold taut the leader which is wound on the device over the spanning element within the winding slots. The winding slots act to both pilot the leader wound on the device, and are deep enough to leave clearance for deflection of the spanning element under the tension exerted by the leader wound on the device. Between adjacent slots are located posts which may accept a loop on the end of the leader. The free end of the leader may be held under one of a plurality of elastic retaining elements extending between opposing pairs of winding slots and running parallel to the winding direction of the leader. The winding plan surfaces of the device may be made convex to improve the holding power of the elastic retaining elements.
