Been reading along on this board for about 2 months and joined today. You folks have taught me alot ... thanks.

I live in the foothills of North Carolina and get to fish in the mountains for trout about twice a month. I also smallmouth fish in a large, shallow river when the water is right. I have several questions about furled leaders: do any of you make your own? Is it difficult? How in the world to you make the small loops on both ends of the furled leader? I've built a jig and tied up 3 thus far but the loops on the end are killing me.

Thanks for your insight and response.
