Default Question on furled leaders...

Picked up a new book today "Smallmouth Flyfishing" by Tim
Holschlag...pretty neat book, especially since he includes my all time
favorite smallie bug, the Sneaky Pete in his top 100 bass flies. Right
away
that marks him as an expert. ;-) He touts furled leaders as the way to go
over the usual leader that most of us use. He pointed to
www.BlueSkyFly.com
as the place to get them, and they give some valid sounding reasons as to
why they are the way to go. How about some opinions of those who have used
them and why you think they are better than standard leaders. I'm talking
here of hefty leaders for bass not some dinky trout types. First week in
June is looming larger and I may score a couple of these for use on the
John Day river. So fire away folks....

..needless to say, I have no affiliation with the bluesky folks.


Smoother turnover when presenting the fly.
