Thanks Jer...I'll have to give them a go. Noone around here seems to use them suprisingly.   R   ______________________________________________ B. Engineering (Aerospace) B.

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 "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia   In a message dated 6/10/2006 13:18:33 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does anyone use furled leaders? Would one have to increase the length of the tippet if using a furled leader??   R   ______________________________________________ 5/11 Rockbrook Road, East St. Kilda, 3183 Melbourne, Victoria   [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: 0422 266798       ."
