Something never talked about lol

I use zip lock baggies and have no trouble.

I store skipper 9 rigs on a noodle with a "T" straight pin to hold the loop and the swivel. a slit would probably work better.

Spreaders I store without the hooks and then just hook the ends together and hang of the peg board or on a ro holder being the seat. Spelled hooks are stored in one of the yellow plastic spring loaded hook storing things. They don't work very well, but that is the best way I have found to store them.

Where can one buy those 2" ziplock bags. Those would be great for trolling leaders I agree. I store them on a noodle with pins as well., but bags would be easier if I could find the small ones.

No spreaders here either, I have not owned a spreader in over 30 years. Spreaders are notorious for throwing of the other good minnow when the perch wiggles hard on the other sides hook.

I use the modified designed crappie rigs with 8 inch arms and only use 2 hooks, they are between 18 and 24 inches long in total length. I always add a swivel of some kind where the Snelled hook attaches to the arms, it keeps the snell from twisting when the bait spins with the motion of the boat on the waves. I put/store them back into the bag they came in. I use the ones Tibbles sells and I think they make them their selves.

I change hooks if I miss several fish, the hook gets bent or it appears dull. I never use the same hooks over from one trip to another. The sharper the hook the easier it is to put a minnow on and the easier to hook the perch. I use the #6 or#8 Tru-turn snells or the Eagle claw crappie snells in the same sizes, they have a built in twist and seem to make hooking perch easier. The #8 hooks work best with the pinhead shiners. I stay away from the bait holder hooks as they are made from heavier wire and don't penetrate nearly as well as the fine wire Aberdeen hooks.

I also use a minimum of 3/4 Oz wt. and prefer 1 to 1.25 Oz wt. but will use the lighter 3/4 Oz on really calm days.

michaels it is a craft store

[OHIO_DUCKER2000]

I use a swim noodle, put screws in it that go halfway, put my skipper 9 rigs loop that goes to the swivel on the main line around the screw head, and the rap the rig around putting the hooks in the foam, and the last hook i put it in the swivel that the sinker goes to and then hook that into the foam.

If you really want to use and store spreaders I think it's easiest to just take the hooks off before storage. They're easy enough to remove and replace, sure beats untangling a nest.
