    Question Furled leader?

    I just bought the stuff to make my first furled leader jig. I'd like to make about a 6ft leader. What would you guys reccommend for the dimensions? I'm not sure the proper term here, but at the last peg, when you've made your final loop, do you tie off to the peg or to the line itself? I hope that makes sense. I've read you make an overhand knot here, but I'm not sure whether to tie it to the line or make a loop and loop it over the peg or what.

    thanks in advance,
    hNt

    Put the loop over the final peg.
    The final leader is free standing and most folks have Shorb loops at each end. The butt end shorb is attached to the line whenever you want.

    Default Not entirely sure ...

    ... that I understand your questions, Jason. But see post #2 in the linked thread for some ideas on leader length, configuration, and proportion.

    I know that other members of the BB who furl leaders prefer other materials and proportions. Perhaps some of them will also address your questions, and certainly better than I can ??
