If you fish small streams and rivers then this is the
ideal Furled Leader to put on your floating line, 36" in length spun
from copolymer nylon, the leader will compliment any line from 3wt to
5wt.
When you are dry fly fishing a light dressing of Muscilin,
Gink or similar will give excellent buoyancy.
If conditions are more suited to a team of wets flies or
nymph fishing, then dress the leader with Xink and the set up will work
as a gentle sinking tip.
The Furled Leader has a supple woven loop at the each
end; giving a smooth transition through fly line, tapered leader and out
to the tippet section.
The spun construction means that the leader has excellent
shock absorbing qualities; vital for protecting the tippet and reducing
the numbers of bumped fish.
Easy to attach and durable this leader is perfect for
rods 7' to 8' 6" giving good turn over and presentation.
For the mono tippet section I would suggest a Surgeons
Loop on the end of a 30" length of 5lb (4X), then join on a length of
24"of 3lb (6X) test using a Double (or Triple) Surgeons Knot, if you
want to fish a dropper leave one side of the knot untrimmed (the 3lb
tail is best). Make the loop to loop connection and you're ready to
fish, if you are neat with your Double Surgeons knots the 5lb length
will last a long time, change the tippet section whenever it gets short
or collects wind knots.
The Leader is supplied in a glassine envelope which is
useful for keeping pre tied casts in
