With all the fly fishing gadgets that I have, or once owned, I've never used a tippet despencer.
They always seemed to me to be not worth the price. Of course w/o one you have a pocket full of loose spools and worse,loose tippet.
I've tried o-rings and other methods to control the loose ends, but this year I may break down and get a tippet dispencer.
Any favorites, anyone make their own?
