[quote riverdog]Why would I do it without line?.[/quote]
Think outside the box for just one, little minute.
Can you cast your Orvis leader, alone, without a line, rod, or tippet?
Of course you can't.
Can you cast a furled leader, alone, without a line, rod, or tippet.
Yes, at least most fly fishers I know or have showed a furled leader can.
What does that prove?
Think about it for a few seconds. Didn't take the guys I've shown long to get it.
And as for the comment that you don't see the point if it's not clear, again, think outside the box.
For dry fly fishing, a tapered extruded mono leader can't even come close to the suppleness, casting and laying down of a well built furled leader. Put a 6' tippet on and poetry in motion.
It's just so ingrained in some, that a tapered mono leader is the only way to go they fail to see the advantages of a furled leader.
