A holder for a plurality of leaders, said holder comprising: (a) a housing comprising: (i) hollow tubular means, and (ii) first and second axially spaced walls extending transversely across the tubular means, at least the first wall having a central aperture through it; (b) a rotatable assembly rota

A holder for a plurality of leaders, said holder comprising: (a) a housing comprising: (i) hollow tubular means, and (ii) first and second axially spaced walls extending transversely across the tubular means, at least the first wall having a central aperture through it; (b) a rotatable assembly rotatably enclosed within the tube with at least a major part of the assembly between the walls, the assembly comprising: (i) an axle, one end of which extends through the aperture in the first wall, (ii) a plurality of spools rotatably mounted on the axle, (iii) engagement means on each of the spools to engage a leader, and (iv) frictional torque-transmission means to couple each of the spools separately to the axle, whereby part of the torque applied to rotate the axle in a winding direction is transmitted to each of the spools to wind a leader on that spool; and (c) braking means to allow each spool to be rotated on the axle in the opposite, or unwinding, direction to unwind the leader on that spool without rotating any of the other spools in the unwinding direction.
