Learn all about how to make Furled Leaders for Fly Fishing. This video is a companion to a post on the website guiderecommend... Furled leaders awesome for delicately presenting dry flies. Plus because a furled leader is super strong it's great for streamer fishing. Brad at HOG CREEK FURLED LEADERS does a great job handcrafting some of the best furled leaders in the midwest.

Finally seen the easy way to add the tippet ring. I always found that really tough when doing this at home.

Nice job of explaining the furling process Brad. I may have one of your leader that Jack gave me before he moved away from Tennessee.

I have fishing with Jack and Brad once here in Nc.

Very informative video! I've never seen this furling process before- its so cool. I didn't realize how labor intense it is to make furled leaders.

The great thing about furled leaders are the durability. You can use 1 for a whole season.

@@GuideRecommended do tippet rings help add to line weight for better casting

I love his machine! I would MUCH rather see how he built his machine. I have a DIY vid on my channel that goes in a bit more detail but my process isn't nearly as "polished" as his. Wow, I really wish this would have been a "How to" vid for this... lol Thanks for sharing!

Brad built the machine over the course of a winter. The one in the video is the third revision. Thanks for the note!

A good hand drill works....adjust spin time vs. rpm if you count revolutions or use the ejected tippet spool method used in the video.
