Thank you for that John. Very descriptive and helpful. I'll be doing furled leaders starting with maybe 4' of what planned #/x I figure on using. Then if I want to add a finer piece on I can just surgeon knot a lighter tippet if it seems necessary. As for nymphing, the same guy who makes the furled leaders treated with his "guaranteed" never sink home brew also makes furled for sinking lines treated with his fast sink home brew. A good write up and appreciated.
