After considerable testing we have engineered this premium leader with extra tough monofilament line. We have carefully constructed this leader to give you a soft yet tough, castable andvery strongleader. This is simply the very bestflyfishing leaderfor wet strength made.A benefit of this leader isits ability to hold up to more abrasive obstructions and rougher use than the standard monofilament lines.Our furled leaders are soft, castable and the best line for wet strength made. Here isa simple wayto determine the correct leader for your fly rod & line system. Firstpick the tippet size you use from the chart below and then pick the correct leader.Tippet Size (approximate LB Test)LB Test Furled Leader (suggested rod size) 7x (2 Lb test)2.5 (0-4wt rod)5x (4 Lb test)4.75 (0-5wt rod)4x (6 Lb test)6 (4-6wt rod)3x (8 Lb test)8 (5-7wt rod)1x (12 Lb test)12 (6-8wt rod)0x (14 Lb test)16 (6+ wt rod)Larger and strongertippet sizes then these require higher pound test furled leaders (available in our store). Make sure the tippet is the same or lighter in strength than the leader.Additional information in our FAQ section below.3) { flag=1; } document.Show.c0.checked=true; // set checkbox for Crop" height=50 src="http://www.producthawk.com//upload/webfish/3434436-Flag.gif?6306" width=80 border=0 name=TheImage>3) { flag=1; } document.Show.c0.checked=true; // set checkbox for Crop " height=75 src="http://www.producthawk.com//upload/webfish/3503923-Made_in_USA.gif?4786" width=287 border=0 name=TheImage> More About Ultimate Furled LeadersIf you have never heard of or have never seen a furled leader don't feel alone. Most fly fishermen buy whatever the fly shop has in stock and are never told about the superior attributes of furled leaders. Quite simply said, after trying one, you will wonder how you ever got along without it.Ultimate furled leaders will greatly improve your casting accuracy and your presentation from beginner to expert alike, which builds tremendous confidence the first time a beginner uses them. In the hands of a veteran fly caster you will swear you are watching the movie “A River Runs through It”. The least understood element of a fly fisherman’s equipment is the leader. Anglers spend large sums of money on rods, reels, even flylines, but place relatively little emphasis on the element of tackle that is second only to the fly in proximity to their fish: the leader. Most flyfishermen spend less than $5 on a leader and then wonder why their aggregate system will not accomplish all the things expected of it. It makes little sense to weaken a wonderful set of equipment by forcing yourself to rely on a cheap inferior leader. 3) { flag=1; } document.Show.c0.checked=true; // set checkbox for Crop " height=275 src="http://www.producthawk.com//upload/webfish/3638796-flyline_loop_to_furled_loop.jpg?3467" width=523 border=0 name=TheImage>Ultimate furled leaders are knotless and will efficiently transmit the energy of the cast every time and because our furled leaders are knotless; there are fewer lump-and-bumps to get tangled up. Ultimate tapered leaders are limp enough to turn over with the slightest energy, resulting in a very straight presentation. With their streamlined taper and spiraled profile, Ultimate Leaders are less affected by wind than other knotted leaders. The weight distribution of the leader mimics the transition in a tapered fly line and has the same effect, therefore aiding the leader in turning over. Energy is what moves fly line, and the efficient transfer of that energy from the rod to the line to the fly in the course of the cast is critical. Tapered lines and furled leaders are more effective in transferring energy through the cast because they use thicker, heavier, and stiffer line to move, and turnover, thinner lighter and more flexible line. This helps maintain line speed and makes casting easier. The transition from a fly line that weighs several times that of the average leader material to the tippet and then the fly can be a major problem if the wrong leader is used.3) { flag=1; } document.Show.c0.checked=true; // set checkbox for Crop " height=400 src="http://www.producthawk.com//upload/webfish/3414175-12_xt_clear_mono.jpg?7379" width=133 border=0 name=TheImage>Standard taperedleaders do not adequately transfer the power of the cast to the tippet and fly, often resulting in short or wayward casts, especially in windy conditions. This is not the case with Ultimate furled leaders. If the leader is unable to turn over the fly, theline is possibly hinging or has lost energy and is prematurely terminating in the collapse of the casting loop and possibly causing a tangled mess. The simplest way to minimize casting failure is to form a gradual transition to the fly. This gradual transition of the leader is best done with the Ultimate furled leader which will slow the speed of the loop until it unfolds, and often presents the fly at the end of a series of S curves on the water, allowing thefly to float without the added drag of the line. The transitional taper of the Ultimate furled leader is carefully matched to the weight of your fly line so you will slow the speed of both the fly and the leader, which means you won’t hit the water with a high impact splash. Also, the taper of the leader will slow down the fly so that it does not spin into a spiral or snap like a whip at the end of your backcast. 3) { flag=1; } document.Show.c0.checked=true; // set checkbox for Crop " height=300 src="http://www.producthawk.com//upload/webfish/3618321-Daves_small_mouth.jpg?2347" width=289 border=0 name=TheImage>Ultimate Furled Leaders Are Better!Ultimate furled leadersprovide unmatched overstrike protection because of there superior elasticity. Throw those shock tippets away! Just hold the butt end in one hand and the fine tip in the other hand. Now outstretch your arms and feel the natural resiliency built into this leader. Don’t loose that really big fish of a lifetime in the last few feet of landing him when lots of pressure is applied. With other types of leaders, your tippet will usually part ways with that trophy when that much pressure is applied. Ultimate furled leaders absorb a lot of that energy which is not the case with standard extruded tapered leaders, knotted hand-made leadersor the "Thread style" furled leaders that some are making. Ultimate furled leaders have been engineered to give you unparalleled performance and presentation on the water. The automated equipment we use toproduce our leadersis strictlymonitored during the production process. Thefurled leaders we make arecarefullyassembled tostrict toleranceswhichhave been developed and fine tuned over a span of many years. By automating what use to be a very labor intensive hand-made operation, we have eliminated many of theinconsistent resultsfound withother leaders. We have assembled thousands of leaders over the years and never had one returned for a refund or replacement!Don’t be fooled by others with inferior hand-made leaders who claim to make a quality product. Most furled leaders are tapered down only 3 times from the butt end to the tippet end. The Ultimate furled leaderhas acarefully designed 5-step taper with the best line available for the very best possible transfer of power from your fly rod to the fly. Keep in mind that not all furled leaders are created equal. Others have tried to duplicate our leaders with marginalto poor results.Ultimate multifilament furled tapered leaders are superior to braided leaders. A braided leader has a hollow center core which tends tosoak upwater.The water-logged leaderwill sink and become heavy whichaffects casting performance.Water spray will put down your fish on the pick up of your line. Ultimate furled leaders are different because the furling is accomplished by weaving, twisting (twining)and looping almost 100 feet of premium line tightly, so it has no hollow core. In short, since furled leaders have no hollow core, they don't absorb water and therefore pick cleanly off the water. No “rooster tail” spray from this leader.Ultimate furled leaders are also “wind knot” resistant which is not the case with standard tapered monofilament style leaders.Ultimate furled leaders are all-season durable.3) { flag=1; } document.Show.c0.checked=true; // set checkbox for Crop " height=227 src="http://www.producthawk.com//upload/webfish/3683159-Butler_fish2.jpg?9533" width=300 border=0 name=TheImage>Another important fact is that the lack of memory, kinking and curling with the Ultimate furled lea
