Default Furled Leaders

Just got the Feather Craft catalog, and they have a full page with these.

Anyone use them?

Pros/cons? Worth the extra few bucks?


Thanks,
Dan

I've never used them because everyone says they suck.

Braided leaders definitely suck. They pick up water, which affects
casting and leads to splashing on touchdown. Many folks on Westfly are
very keen on the furled ones, though. They have been MUCH discussed
there. Daniel-San, look he http://tinyurl.com/ahls2 (the
