The tippet you tie to the ring, is that furled or just plain mono ?

Plain mono. I make a fairly short furled leader (I think the board I
currently have does about a 6' leader), and then attach a long tippet
section to it.

If it's mono that would probably solve my splash problem but still
I haven't ever used one that was better than just a well constructed
mono leader and in the case of heaving bass bugs where I like a really
stiff butt on my leader the furled ones are inferior. IMNSHO.

No argument there. The major strength (no pun intended) of a thread
furled leader (suppleness) is not so helpful when tossing large bugs.
