So Jack, if I have a nine to twelve inch flurocarbon shock leader, example 10 lb. test attached to my fly line loop to loop, and then at the bottom of the shock leader a loop to loop connection to my tippet, is that not the same thing? Instead of using multiple strands, would I still not get the additional weight, strength and ease of changing tippets as the furled. Just curious and trying to understand the benefits, it seems like a pain to make or weave the leader. The statement of increased accuracy in casting you mentioned was interesting, is it the bulk of the leader which gives you the added finesse.

thanks,

just trying to get educated, and most of the time it is a full time job.
