could accomplish the same effect by using tippet rings on a standard knotless leader? or does the design of the furled offer some other advantage you are looking for?

If a knotted leader is made correctly it will turn over 4' of tippet with no problem.pwk5017 wrote:
I love them because you can buy a spool of 330yd mono and make several leaders for $3. I replace mine pretty frequently, because they get kinked from adjusting/readjusting thingamabobbers. You can usually stretch the kink out, but it eventually becomes permenant and then its time to make another leader. I probably replace leaders 3-4 times a year, so they dont last very long for me. Also, I love having a 4' piece of knotless tippet. I felt like I was always running into old knots on the knotted leader and I was constantly tying blood knots stream side. Again, a tippet ring with a knotted leader would maybe save me this hassle, but most knotted leaders dont turn over 4' of tippet as well as a furled leader does.

I will be trying this approach first for me. Hoping one of the booths at Somerset has the rings.

J. Stockard has them if you need to order.
