Welcome to the Dark Side.

Bill

The best thing I can tell you is to give it a try and see...I can't remember wat I sent you)a mind is a terrible thing to waste).

I never use a leader that long(furled portion). When I built my new board, I made it 10' in length. My old board was 12' in length. I never used the last 2', so I figured I would save part of...

Jack

My old board had pegs for a 10' leader. Never used them so I only made my new board 10' long. McSteff is the proud owner now. He may be able to help you out.

I am going to use the same set-up when I get the courage to try to furl a flyline :shock: . I'll let you know how it goes.

There is no competition as far as I am concerned. I don't know them...they don't me. I asked the what type of motor they were using and they just looked at me and smiled. That is when I decided...

Yes ,it will furl when you take it off of the hooks. No problems, no waste.

Brad

Jack you are correct. Bill and I will be at the MI show.
I saw their method first. I asked them a few questions about their set up and they were not willing to share the information, so I made my...

Wow Kat, my set up works the same way.....

And here is my "fork" for lack of a better term....

Joe

I'll whip up a few leaders and lets go chase those steelhead. I feel a case of fishing fever setting in...

Duck

Yes, I use it all the time. Makes great leaders.

Brad

It's just another one of those things to add in the statement; "Yeah, I caught that fish on a fly I tied attached to leader that I furled being cast by the rod I built with the guides I twisted and...

Your right Jack, I do use weights. They are on the tip end of the leader. The leader is twisted from the butt end. Ther leader furles itself. The trick is to use the proper weight for the material...

Here are some pictures...

And the peg. It is made from 3\4" PVC pipe

I use Kat's and Claude Freaner's formulas...and a few of my own.
I have a self stick ruler ordered to put on my board so I don't have to get the tape out every time I change leader sizes.

Jack
O my new board I milled 1/4" slots almost full length for the pegs. The pegs are captured to the board with carriage bults inserted from the bottom, In th bottom of the peg I imbedded a 1/4"...

For me, the journey is as satisfying as the destination. Making the ?thigamagig? as you call it is part of that journey. Fishing with them is the destination.

I guess that is why I build...

Jack

I am just putting the finishing touches on my new powered board. I will post some pictures when the finish dries.
