Default Cheap Fix !!

I use PIP leader holders and after awhile the cork gets beat-up bad,and I hate replaceing them at 7.00 a shot! I went to joes and found cork gasket matteral big roll for 4.50. When I got home I took the inner lid from a small Ball Jar and traced the pattern, cut it out and glued it in now my leader hold is just like new time 5 minutes cost probley .10 cents saved a bunch.

I just put a goopy layer of shoe-goo in my old ones, hooks stick in it fine.

Wish I would have read that a month ago! I tossed my old pips, but it did smell like mold from the rain.

You should also be able to get cork at your local craft shop.

Bobs in longview had them on sale for $4.99 the last time I was there. More food for thought.
