    Default Fly fishing question


    Several years ago I bought a couple of 9' braided tapered leaders. They had pre-tied loops on each end. I thought they were the greatest thing since the wheel. With a loop on my fly line I could change leaders in seconds.
    Now I can't find them on Google or Amazon.
    Anyone familiar with them and know where to buy them?
    PS I thought we had a fly thing group on CDC?

    We do, but it gets about as much traffic as the "Left-Handed Dentists Named Marvin Who Only Troll On Tuesday" forum.

    They're also called "furled" leaders. Lots of shops carry them.

    BTW, you can do this with any leader, not just the furled ones. After you've used up the tippet part of any leader, just tie a perfection loop at the end.

    You can make a good quality leader last a LOOOOG time doing the above. Have premade tippets in baggies and you can swap out for different flies, poppers, etc in a snap.

    Google Furled Leaders and your find all you need. Feather-craft and Cutthroat and two places I had dealt with.

    Thanks just ordered from Feathercraft. I was searching for "braided leaders" and coming up empty.

    Do you moderate that forum as well?
    I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

    I used to, but I had to give it up. Moderating the "Jewish Jiggers for Jesus" forum was just taking up too much of my time.
