Two reasons:

1 The original poster wanted to fish 1-6 feet deep

2 Using a furled fluorocarbon leader eliminates the need for a sink tip line...they sink like a stone

By the way, at $9.00 each, a furled fluorocarbon leader really is not that expensive seeing they will last a year or 2 with reasonable care.
