I guess I got in on the ground floor with furled leaders. I was introduced to them about 10 years ago. I haven't looked back since. I still have what's left of one of the originals. I prefer thread leaders to the ones made out of mono or fluoro. I pretty much agree with every thing that's been said. I use them for all my fresh water fishing from trout to bass. I keep promising myself I'll try them in salt water, but I'd be leery of using thread ones in the salt. I use Water Shed to treat mine, and will sometimes add silicone on top of that. The ones I use are 5-7 feet long and I fish them with 5 feet of fluoro leader. Jerry C
