Bruce, just my 2-cents, I use twisted leaders (very similar to furled) and attest to how well they work. Just go read my Fishing Report posts under Dad & the Kid 2010 and 2009 - http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/s...d-the-Kid-2010. All fish caught and represented in the posts were caught using a furled-type leader. Proof is in the puddin' in my world.
