I nymph with furled leaders quite a bit mainly cause I dont see the need to keep switching out leaders. One the benefits when nyphing with furled leaders you get
tigher loops when roll casting, the flexibility of a furled leader (suppleness) has allot more flex then a flour or mono line, add in the flex of the line is like a shock absorber
protecting your tippet. Plus less rock snot cause there no knots for it to catch on.
Dont know what rod your using but with faster tip rods like my VT2 or Z the furled leader I find I dont have to put as much pressure on the rod when drycasting to achieve the same distance. Which is less wear and tear on my arm
One thing I don't like about furled leaders is when im dry casting im constantly smothering them in floatant haven't tried mucilin I hear thats the way to go but i like loon aquel.
