I can say that no leader straightens out like a furled leader. During March Brown/Green Drake /Brown Drake season, we fish with a lot of big dries, and very often have to use 5x tippets, some of my friends use 6x. Very difficult to cast these flies with these tippets with a standard leader, and forget it if there is wind. But a furled leader, no problem.....

They are nice indeed, and whenever I finally do get around to building my own board, yeah I doubt I will ever go back for cost reasons alone.

I have been switching back and forth between furled and mono since and have yet to decide on a clear winner (mono pun intended). The biggest benefit that I see with furled is lack of memory, but the braided style gives me a mental block when if comes to drag, probably unfounded but I just get it in my head that the currents will have more of an effect on it than mono. I don't get heartburn over it having color or not being clear, I like that better than shiny mono. But I have heard many try furled and will never go back, I could use either just wondering what others see that they like so much better?
