Tried using mono furled leaders for steelhead a few weeks ago. While they might be perfect for you, they're virtually useless in the tight confines and shale beds of the Lake Erie tribs. As soon as you hook up and the fish makes its first run, it drags your leader across all that sharp shale.

The first one I used lasted a total of about 20 minutes and 1 hookup before it was frayed to the point that I didnt want to use it.

Just figured I'd save other GL steely fishermen the aggrivation on that one.
