I use furled leaders too, and I use them for all my set-ups (from 3wt trout to 10wt salt water). This way I get fantastic leaders that last forever and in whatever configuration I want. The first three or four were a bit of a pain, but even at that they were easier to me than tying all the knots in a hand-tied leader. If I couldn't furl my own I would just buy furled leaders. If I couldn't do that either I would buy machine made tapered mono because it would be worth the cost to me to avoid all those knots.
