Re: [VFB] Anyone into furled leaders??

I use to add at least one fly too. In my experience the fish seem to show more interest than if I'm adding only the tippet material.

This topic caught my attention. I am not usually one to go against the old book. My question is with the furled leaders,, do you only add tippet material? How are they for casting? Do they lay out a piece of 4-5 foot of tippet? I may have to go for one myself to try this out.

Thanks Jer...I'll have to give them a go.

Noone around here seems to use them suprisingly.

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.

Does anyone use furled leaders?

Would one have to increase the length of the tippet if using a furled leader??
