He has made a motorized set up and the furl is somewhat different. It is tighter than most. He also has a mini loop on each end that is woven in the leader. The furled leader will make a smoother loop and lay out straight. I am not the best caster but it makes me look like a pro. In the three years I have used the furled leader I really can't remember a wind knot or a tangle. He did originally talk to Claud and made some improvements. You might ask Martin Westbeek about the setup. I think he made one close to it. Martin got to spend some time with Skip on my back porch making leaders after the Sowbug last year. Tony
