I have used them for close to seven years, Will not go back to the mono leaders. I have a 4 wt leader I have been using for five years and I fish it most of the time.
It is still in as good a shape as you would want.

I saw Rick mention furled leaders at the Sow Bug.. Are they worth the extra money??? I think we may have discussed this a few months ago, but my memory ain't what it used to Be. I think it was Del who was telling Me he tied his own, and I may only have to buy one or two per season, instead of a bunch of them. is this true??? And do you still use a tippet with a furled leader???Thanks in advance, ChuckI've been using them for about 6 years now. Was introduced to them on the old VFS Chat room by Hans W and Jim Cramer. I'm not mechanically inclined it always takes me at least two hours to install a door lock, so I'm don't even attempt to make my own. The ones I've gotten were done by barter for tying materials, hooks or flies. I prefer the ones constructed out of tying thread and have enough to last me a couple of years. I've got some that will turn over a 28 and a couple that will turn over a salt water fly. If you pick up those made of thread remember you need to treat them with a floatant or silicone paste or after a bit they absorb water and sink on you. They seems to be a well kept secret here in SE PA. I've had some "experienced" fly fishers tell me I'd do a whole lot better if I had a proper leader. I normally fish mine with 5 or 6 feet of tippet material.Jerry C"All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia."
