Wish I were able to come to the Sowbug.

Gary, The best I have seen come from Skip Shorb. He was a short time member of this list some years ago. He has a different way of making them, the furl is the tight and slightly different that most furles I have seen. He will be doing a demo at the Sowbug. I hope you will make it in 2004. I am sure that he would answer any questions you might have about furled leaders. He even makes sinking furled leaders. I am also sending this message to him. I am sure he will contact you. Tony

I know we have had this discussion before, but lately I have been looking at furled leaders. My web research shows different construction techniques. Some with "3 Step" leaders. Some with "5 Step" leaders. What is the difference and why would a person want one over the other?
When I look at all the websites touting furled leaders, I see them for everything from "light trout" to "heavy tarpon". Is it the size of the material used in construction that make one leader lighter or heavier than another?
Also, I notice they are made of a variety of materials. UNI Thread, Monofilament, and Fluorocarbon seem to be the materials of choice. The purpose of the Fluorocarbon is obvious with it's sinking quality, but why would one prefer a leader constructed of thread ove one constructed of mono, or vice versa?
Trying to learn.
