Making Furled Fly Fishing Leaders

Making your own furled leaders can be very fun, as well as cost effective. Furled leaders are completely customizable, affordable and great to cast. Fly fishing with furled leaders is also simple. A small tippet ring added to the tippet end, will help reduce the need for difficult knots. The beauty of furled leaders is the ability to choose the type of material that suits the situation. Stiff or limp materials can be used, as well as thick or thin materials. Varying these materials will give your leaders either power and punch, or delicacy and stealth. Plus they are rewarding to tie! Give them a try!
