I've been using furled leaders since right after I began flyfishing. Hell, I don't know how long its been--- probably six or seven years.
I began to use them back in the day when I couldn't tie a proper blood knot and changed flies alot. Before I knew it, I would be at the fat end of the tapered mono leader and it was useless.
I've thought about tying my own leaders, but all of those knots look like tangles and breakoffs waiting to happen.
Anyone here fish furled leaders? Anyone not like them?
I guess my point is that I don't know why I fish them, and I kind of want to get some input as to whether I should try something else. I'm not exactly a "if it ain't broke...." kind of guy to say the least.
