Whitewolf,

I have never used a furled leader for bass. Not saying it isn't good, just haven't. I usually use a very heavy and short leader, rather mono fly line, in the 15 to 20 pound range. Bass, especially smallies, are pure predator hunters. They either cruise around looking for a victim or hang out around structure and wait to attack or ambush anything that happens to come by that catches their fancy. They are not really known to be very leader shy.

You are really going to enjoy hooking up on smallies.
