First, thank you all for your replies. As always, ya'll are an amazing source of information about all things FFing.

Second, I am definately going to give the furled leaders a try. Actually, as soon as ya'll said that a flurocarbon furled leader sinks, I went out and bought some flurocarbon and made muhself a 10-8-6 7.5 foot leader by some instructions I found on [url=http://flyfisherman.com/skills/jcfurledleaders/:7268c]another site[/url:7268c].

I can't wait to give it a try!

Lastly, while I value the opinion of everyone here, I have to disagree on the point of finding a new fly shop because one employee doesn't know everything.

Seems like that'd be the same as not buying any tying supplies from them because they don't carry polar bear hair.

No one knows everything. That's why it's great to have so many people to respond to questions here.

Just another opinion, for whatever it's worth.
