I made some furled leaders the other day. I bought a DVD that gave step by step instructions on how to make the furling board and then how to make the furlrd leader. I furled up two leaders using 6/0 tying thread and two with 2 lb maxima ultragreen mono. They turned out really good. The DVD also demonstrated how to make the end loops in the leader, that was the toughest part of the construction in my opinion. I can't wait to get out and try these at Montauk later this month. The furled leader setup produced a fishable leader about 5 foot long. The thread leaders seem to turn over the fly well and land very softly, looking forward to casting some dry flies with them. I have been finding different board setups on the web to make different length leaders and different tapers. Just what I need, another addiction.
