I've always preferred not to have kinks from wrapping the leader. But I'm not sure the salmon care all that much. Wrapping your newly tied leaders around 4 fingers, looping the swivel through the hoop of the leader line, then stashing them in ziplocs as @Steplift suggests, is a great way to keep the "kinks" out of the line. Don't put them back into the ziploc after use though, as they will rust up no matter how much you think you've cleaned them. Once you've used the leader, keep it out to air-dry or just chop, cut, and rebuild it.
