Furled Leaders

[SatanLBZ801]

Furled leaders are great for every situation! Joni makes some great leaders that in my opinion, are a lot better quality then the ones selling on Ebay. She uses the perfect size tippet ring (2mm black nickel). Most other people use a 3mm strainless, which I've noticed many a times flickering through the water in the sun. Not something I liked seeing. Far as the leader being clear, if you're fishing in stillwater I could possibly see a reason for it, but river fishing, it's just like anything else, sticks, twigs, reeds, brush, etc, floating down the river. Fish don't notice the color of the leader, I'm more concerned about how the leader lays down on the water. Which numerous people have already said that furled leaders lay down better then mono. Like mentioned before, my ONLY complaint is with dry flies, after using the leader for awhile it will suck up the water and start to sink so. Gotta be pounding on the floatant. I know I won't be going back to the mono tapered leaders!
