Henk, Is there a good dispenser out there? My best luck was with spools of Dai-Riki which fit together. You could toss it away when you were through and add a new one. I now have several different brands on a leather tippet holder on my vest. The tippet gets mixed up and harder to get what you need. I switched to get a chance to try some of the newer tippets like Frog Hair. I like them but hate the way I have this set up.
