Tieing on the go is fine when I am back on land, but trying to do it waist deep in water atop a rock a few hundred feet from shore while fighting waves is an excercie in futility. I like to have at least a half dozen pre-tied when I venture out in the wetsuit for a night of eeling. I've had nights when some blues roll in or the bass are digging in the rocks where even 6 pre-tied leaders will not get me through a session. I am really interested in that waterproof arm band I posted. The more I think about it, the more it seems like it may be an interesting option.
