Furled Leader Part 2

Made my first furled leader from thread, wow talk about one slip and you have a mess. Trial and error; need to run the drill a little longer, need to figure a better way of hanging them up to furl and got the weight thing down. Also need to work on the finish, loop knot or weave a loop? Working with mono a bit easier but again one slip and a rats nest. The bottom line is this is the lost art of angling: making your own flies, building your rod, and making leaders. Reverting back to the old methods can be just a form of rebelling in the digital age.how to make furled leaders
