I was wondering what systems people here use to store cables so that they do
not get tangled. I am thinking microphone cables and instrument cable
approximately 25' long.

A friend of mine always leaves a piece of rope tied around one end of the
cable.

I was putting each cable in a plastic bag. Worked well until I started
using more cables. Takes time to open the bags and get the cable in there.

I am thinking of using velcro ties that can be left on the cable.


Thanks

Danielle

Velco here on cables that are frequently used. On rarely used cables and
big cross section stuff like multicores and and distro, I use pvc tape.

A band I saw in PA connected their mike cables and used an electric cord
reel. When they set up they rolled one off at a time, to tangles. Seems
like a good idea for same length cables.
