can any 1 explain the easiest way to fit a furled leader to a fly line weight 5 for river fishing and is there any advantage to the furled leader over standard leadres

They are come with a loop on the end so you can use loop-to-loop to connect them. Depending what they are made of and the taper they provide a smooth transition of energy to the tippet which translates into a nice turn over on the cast.
You can also make them float or sink and they are supple so good for drifting dries whilst minimising drag.

thank you for your words of advice ill purchase a few and have a go

Mr trouts leaders are awesome mate...

And you can get them from sunkistbob on this forum...


They really are the dogs Lee.

Do a search on here mate; as already said Mr. Trout offers some in-depth explanations on the joys of furlios. Lifts your game!

thanks lads i will do

Post deleted at our friends request . Keep well Steven hopefully one day Lee and I will get over that way .

As I am just about to purchase some of Mr Trouts FL's for the first time are you suggesting by using a loop to loop conection that you make a loop using the fly line itself or do you attach the FL to a braided loop or a length of mono which has been attached to the fly line?

Just a little unclear as to what you meant, exactly.

Thanks
Dave

Just loop to loop with whatever the end of your flyline welded loop/braided loop etc
Mr trouts leaders are excellent, a couple treatments of mucilin and they float lovely.
