I have one on my 4 wt. which is my dry fly outfit. On the 5 wt. I do not because I do so much nymphing with the 5 wt. Now the questions: Do any of you use it with a nymphing rig? How much tippet do you use with a furled leader set up (dry or nymphing)? Do you find colors make a difference in the leaders. I have one in florescent orange which is easy to see and I love that but I think I get less takes.

Reuven:I've been using them for at least 5 years or more. Swapped some tying materials with Jim Hatch on the old Virtual Fly Shop Chat room. I don't make them but usually swap flies, hooks or tying materials. Once I tried them I've never went back to the standard leaders.Most of the furled leaders are 5 to 7 feet long. I usually start with 5 feet of tippet material. I use them for trout and warm water fishing. Haven't gotten around to using them in salt water.All the ones I have are made from thread. I wasn't that impressed by the mono ones I've tried.Jerry C
