I use Uni-thread furled leaders with a tippet ring, and then Fluorocarbon tippet. And where I always stepped my nylon leaders and avoided more than 2 sizes of step down with them because of hinging, the furled leaders are not quite the same.

I use a 5'5" furled leader tied for 4-6wt lines, and I can tie on 6 foot of anything from 3-7x tippet and it rolls over just fine. As long as I am staying close in matching my fly to my tippet size.

the only time I have a problem is when I'm throwing 3X and a lot of weight. But that's to be expected.
