Default Furled Leaders

I have been fishing with one that was given to me and I think they provide a great delicate turn over.

Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere I can buy them at a reasonable rate?

Drop a PM to Rod3 on this forum, his are superb.

Right so my immediate impressions are right the furled leaders are a great way to go.

Many thanks for the pointers by the way

used one of these for a while, they are a good quality silk and hand tapered to very thin with a tiny loop on the tip, but 7 quid, they seem to last for ever though...ebay..furled leaders.

how did you do that, first ones are much cheaper and they are the same, these are 5.5 feet, floatant floats them, sinkant turns them into a sink tip, wash them in the sink when you forget which.

Only the second ones are silk, hence price difference.
