What is the best way to secure big egg sinkers on rigs with long leaders while running?
Could get some rubber bands, but I wrap the sinker around the reel and then wrap the leader around the reel and then the hook to a guide.

Bread ties.

How long of a leader you talking? I will put the hook on the last eye bracket, or the hook tab, then wrap the line around the rod. Holds great. Or on short runs we just lay the rods in the floor.
I use hair clips. They come several sizes. They also work on lures and they are cheap
I use the same Velcro I use to store my extension cords
A wise man once said “Do as I say not as I do” Good advice when I tell you that.
Gear Ties…I have them on all of my rods. Lowes/Home Depot/ Batteries Plus…they all sell them. From about 2" to 24". They work great.

Cant beat those gear ties! Use the longer ones to tie up my like kind rods.in neat cluster in the boat!
I use bank sinkers and clips… When I run I just un clip them from the swivel and toss em in the cup holder. Get where I’m going just clip it back on and drop er down. If you have to have egg sinkers then then this won’t help ya. Thought I would throw it out there…
