The furled leaders cast like a dream. In fact if you hold one end of the leader and give it a flip it will lay out straight. Try that with a mono leader and you will wind up with a coiled mess at your feet. I make them using different colored threads. [mostly 6/0 waxed Uni_Threads] I like them about 5' long and then add 4 to 6' of tippet. Light olive or a pale yellow seems to work well. FGD had sent me a couple a while back and I was so impressed with them that I wanted to get one for each of my reels. Well when I dicovered that the go for around $12.50 a copy I quickly resorted to making my own. The leaders are tappered as this one is a 6/8/10. Meaning there are 18" of 6 strands, 24" 8 strands and 24" 10 strands.
