making furled leaders

[jim202000]

I do plan on fishing it with a tippet but like I was saying the fewest loops I can figure on the end of the leader is 6 and at 2lb test that leaves me with the equivalent of 12lb at he tippet end. That, to me, seems very thick to tie a 2 -4 lb tippet to … no? It may very well be that I am misunderstanding some part of this or just lack the experience to know better. I was thinking that with one lb test that would leave the tippet end in the 6lb range. That, I was figuring, would be a more appropriate taper to attach a 2-4 lb tippet to. I only just started fly fishing the end of last year so I still have a great deal to learn but as I go I am cobbling together the bits of information that I have learned and trying to build upon them. I don’t know any one that fly fishing so this forum and the web (and the books) are really I have to go on. Other than that I am pushing forward trial and error style ( although I must admit I am pleased with the progress I am making )

thanks to all for the help

peace
