Default Furled Leaders Revisited

Ken Fortenberry wrote in

Furled leaders still suck. If you let your Sneaky Pete
sit on the water for any time at all the leader sinks
so that the only things floating are the fly and the end
of the flyline. Lifting the fly off the water creates a
huge ruckus, enough to scare off any fish for miles
around. Back to good old Orvis SuperStrong tapered leaders
for me.



I haven't used the furled, but I have used braided. I recall more spray on
the cast. I didn't hate them, but they were more expensive, and of less
utility as my knots improved.
