How is a furled leader different from a braided leader?
Our furled tapered leader is not a “braided” leader. Conventional braided leaders have a hollow center that tends to pick up and hold water which in turn makes the leader heavier and effects casting performance. When cast, a braided leader also has a tendency to ‘splat’ the surface of the water and spray the small droplets contained in its core. These negative characteristics put down or “spook” fish. BlueSky furled leaders have a solid core and do not have these negative characteristics. Additionally, most braided leaders are too limp to fully turn over the tippet and fly.
