A friend gave me this tip. Cut a pool noodle -
http://tinyurl.com/mcyyp
into 3" or 4" chunks, and slice a side of each chunk longitudinally to the
center. Place the lure in the center of the noodle chunk and wind the
leader around the chunk of noodle. Once the leader is wound, slip the
swivel into the center also.

Works great. No tangled leaders.

Don't the hooks get stuck in the foam?

Yes, but it hurts nothing. They can be pulled out easily. Remember, if one
of these chunks gets ruined after several uses, a whole new noodle can be
had for $2.50.

A company I used to work for sold a line of stuff for this called
"leader keepers", "tackle keepers", etc. It was just rigid polyethylene
tubing in various diameters and lengths with poly capplugs on each end.
Worked great, albeit a little expensive. I don't even know if anything
like that is on the market, but you could easily make up your own. Any
clear or semi-clear poly tubing with corks or caps in the end would
work great to store individual setups.
