    Default Furled Leaders for nymphing/Opinions

    I've discussed this before, but...A guy told me serveral years ago that using furled leaders for highstick nymphing causes you to miss a lot of bites and I can't get that out of my mind. Has anybody noticed any problems with them? I even bought Kathy Scott's video, but I have never followed through with things.

    I've used both floro and thread furled leaders for nymphing with no problems.

    Ditto...I have even used 6' leader with 5' of fluoro and no worries, which I really thought there might.

    For top water dries I use Uni thread furled leaders w/floro tippet w/ wf line (RIO)
    For my nymphs I make my own Fluro carbon furled leaders, fluro tippets with wf floating line for fishing
    Just sub surface to 3 feet deep. For deeper fishing nymphs I slip on the reel with an intermediate line
    (Lake line from RIO) with the Fluro carbon furled leader w/ fluro tippets.
    I have never experienced any problems and catch more than my share.
    I do not sell them, only make for my own fishin.
