For wet fly these furled leaders give exceptional presentation. With easy application and use, the nylon furled leader is suited to subsurface and mid water techniques where the leader is required to break the surface film.
Q. What are these furled leaders constructed from?
A. Strong nylon.
Q. What colours are available?
A. Smoke grey (Top) and clear (Bottom).
Q. How long are the leaders?
A. 36" - For use on small rivers or streams where fishing is at close quarters.
A. 42" - Streams & Small to medium rivers.
A. 48" - Small to medium rivers & chalkstreams.
A. 65" - Medium to large rivers, stillwaters & reservoirs.
Q. What line weights are available?
A. #2-#5 or #5-#8.
Q. Do the leaders stretch to allow for light tippets?
A. Yes - they stretch just enough to keep total control and minimise breakage when using light tippets.
Q. Do the leaders have any memory?
A. No - Scrunch it, coil it all you like. With one simple stretch the leaders remain incredibly straight.
Q. Do they spray water during the cast?
A. Minimal - Furled leaders are twisted in construction and do not retain water like braided leaders which are hollow and cause surface disturbance on the pickup and cast.
Q. How do I connect the furled leader to my fly line?
A. With a loop to loop connection. Click here to see a permanent furled leader to fly line alternative.
Q. How do I connect my tippet material to the leader?
A. At the tip of the furled leader is a weightless 1mm tip ring. To this you tie your final or tapered tippet using your favoured knot.
A. Alternatively you can opt for a Shorb loop instead of the tip ring similar to the butt loop. The choice is yours. |

Q. How long does my leader/tippet need to be?
A. I've used as little as 2ft and as much as 15ft. You can add as little or as much leader/tippet material as you wish.
What's important is that you can turn over the longest leader/tippet possible given your venue and conditions. There's no point in having a 10ft leader/tippet attachment if you're only turning over 7ft of it. Remember it's about presentation and accuracy, you can't optimise these if you can't control the leader, tippet and ultimately the fly.
Q. Can I improve the sinking of these leaders?
A. Yes - Just add a good quality sinkant paste.
Q. Can I use them in salt water?
A. Yes - Just ensure you rinse it thoroughly in freshwater.
