I've been following the posts on furled leaders and I've got a few questions for the "Honorable Knights of the Furled Leader".

Given that my curiosity has been peaked and I want to give one a try how do you decide what to get? I've seen listing for thread, mono and fluoro leaders. I like to nymph and fish with dries (usually some of both on any given day) and have even been know to through a streamer now and again, is one type, style or length preferred?

I trout fish with both a three and a five weight rods for trout and a seven weight for steelhead. Rod lengths run from 7 1/2 to 9 1/2 feet. Would this require different sized (weights) in order to be effective?

I'd like to try one but I'm a little overwhelmed with all the choices.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
