Furled leaders - Dryrod - 03-20-2009 [font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]Ever since Flygoddess brought up the subject of furled leaders I was surprised to find that very few place sell this product. BM one of the largest fly shops in the west doesn't carry any at this time. Looking on line I found that they price between $6.95 to $12.95 per copy. The latter is a bit pricey. After trying out one of her furled leaders everything else feels like I'm casting a piece of 1" hemp. Must say that her stuff is really cool.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Furled leaders - flygoddess - 03-20-2009 Thank you My friend. I am going to be doing a demo on them tomorrow at the Utah Fly Tying Expo. See if we can record it for a you-tube thing.

I figured the leader was shot but since I had cut off from the tapered end I tied a perfection loop in the leader... it worked like a charm.. I fished the rest of the day and caught several fish and never had a problem with that loop coming loose.. if that is not a testament to the quality of the loops that you make I dont know what is.. :-) MacFly [signature] Re: [macfly55] Furled leaders - flygoddess - 03-21-2009 Shucks! Thanks guys [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Furled leaders - macfly55 - 03-21-2009 only speaking the truth sis.. :-) MacFly [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Furled leaders - ChrisTheFish - 03-27-2009 I too received the furled leaders. Thank you again FG. I had to opportunity to take them out a few times since and have been converted too! I prefer the mono UNI thread leader for my nymphing and such, and the regular UNI thread for the dries. Now all I need is a big ol' board, some pegs, and some spare time! [] Oh yeah, and some practice! [cool] Thanks again for sharing your wealth of experience FG. [signature]
