Reven, I have been using them for over six years.Those are the only leaders I use.These are tapered leaders made from 8/0 tying thread. The first one I got six years ago is still in use. Leader # 1 is used every time I fish my bamboo rod. That is quite often. I use # 2 on my graphite rod. Both rods get a lot of use on both Crooked Creek and the White river. I post some of my fishing trips but not all of them. That might give you an idea on how much my furled leaders are used. I don't think I will ever go back to Mono leaders. I got mine from (#1) Skip Shorb and (#2) Jim Hatfield. Both of these guys make the best furled leaders you can get. I have tried others that were sent to me for evaluation, none can beat the above. Furled leaders turn real good and almost imposable to get them tangled in a tailing loop. The only complaint I have heard from "dry Fly" fishers is that they spray a lot if water. That can be controlled by treating the leader with floatent. jmho Off Subject, Reven, Most of your flies tied, I think I will add a few more. I should get them in the mail next week. I am trying to finish an article for an on line bamboo rod magazine. Hope to have it done this weekend Tony
