DIY: Furled leaders

While I have your attention, have you made any furled leaders for
fishing heavier rods? I was thinking about experimenting with 3/0
thread for throwing bass flies with an 8-weight.

Thanks for you appreciative comment.

You're welcome.

I use the green Mucillin.

I would use some 2 lb or 4 lb mono spinning line for that sort of
application. You have six strands in the tip segment so the strength and
diameter is going to be something like the equivalent in solid mono of
that strength.

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try.
