Well, I guess I'm in the minority, because i tried a furled leader and really disliked it. It seems to stretch too much for my liking, and when I would get it hung up in thr hydrilla we have down here, when it came loose, it would be a tangled mess. I went back to the tapered mono leaders, they work much better for me. I also used it with a braided loop, and could not seem to keep it afloat when using topwater flies. Just my 2 cents, .... Rob
