OK, not to be a jerk, but why in ... name would you ever want a sinking
furled leader? The primary purpose of furled leaders is to produce an
"S" to help with drag-free drifts, while at the same time turning over
well. Because they are "limper" than braided or mono leaders, they do
this well. I like them because I seem to be able to control my slack
(improved accuracy) with them more easily than with mono leaders. For
example, when fishing from a drift boat, I can consistently drop a dry
fly within 3" of the bank with slack when using a furled leader; I can't
do that with mono. Most of us who use them go to considerable pains to
keep them floating.

If you want your leader to sink, just put some leader-sink on a mono
leader or use a sinking Poly-Leader or a braided sinking leader.

Confused,
Paul
