How long will a furled leader last?
Our Furled Tapered Leaders are tough and very durable. The typical life of a BlueSky furled leader is measured in SEASONS vs. days or even hours for an ordinary mono leader. This feature of durability makes the furled leader an economical option and will save the owner considerable expense. As with all fly fishing gear, proper care and handling will add to life. BlueSky furled leaders only require normal care. • Use tippet material of a diameter recommended on the package. • Do not jerk or excessively stretch the leaders. • Do not false cast without a piece of tippet attached. • Clean the leader with mild soap and water if it discolors. • Use of the furled leader in below freezing weather is not recommended due to the probability of ice build-up. • If excessive pressure on a furled leader causes the furling to unravel, the leader can be “reloaded” by simply grasping the leader at both ends and gently stretching.
