LB Mono Furled Leader

LB Mono Furled Leader. A monofilament furled leader. Ideal for all round fly fishing use.

This is the ideal all rounder. Available in lengths from 3ft to 6ft spun from fine translucent nylon, theses leaders will compliment lines from 3wt to 5wt. Easy to attach and durable this furled leader is perfect for the various tactics of river fishing. When fishing a dry fly lightly dress the furled leader with Mucilin or Gink to give it excellent buoyancy. If conditions are more suited to wet flies or nymph fishing, then dress the leader with Xink and the set up will work as a gentle sinking tip.

The furled leader has supple woven shorb loop at each end giving a smooth transition through fly line, tapered leader and out to the tippet section. The spun construction gives the leader excellent shock absorbing qualities, vital for protecting fine tippets and reducing the numbers of bumped fish.
For the mono tippet, use a Surgeons or Perfection Loop on the end of a 30” length of 5lb (4X) mono, then join on a length of 24” of 3lb (6X) test using a Double (or Triple) Surgeons knot, if you want to fish a dropper leave one side of the knot untrimmed (the 3lb tail is best). Make the loop to loop connection and you are ready to fish, if you are neat with your Double Surgeon knots the 5lb length will last a long time, change the tippet section when it gets a bit short or collects a few wind knots.
