I never thought of furled leaders helping Nymphing or Streamer. They will help to turn over flies better than mono because they have NO memory. Take a store bought tapered leader out of a package and try to cast just the leader. Now take a furledleader out of the package and cast it. They cast themselves.
I do use a 7' furled leader when deep nymphing because I am usually fishing 20' down. With the furled leader, I can now cast that 20 feet. That would be 13' of fluoro on a 7 foot furled.
Dries, nothing will lay a dry out more delicate than a furled leader. You can add 3' to 5' of mono, or fluoro tippet and it need not be tapered to lay out nice.
They can last very long time if you don't get snagged in trees or hooked on anything where you are forced to break off. Wind knots can be a pain.
River, I have a mono that is more supple than any I have tried. Like you to check one out sometime.
