That furled leader for dry flies is the way to go. I absolutely love using it. And MRO also sells a monofilament furled leader which is great for nymphs and streamers. And what I think these have over other furled leaders that I’ve seen is the inclusion of a tippet ring already installed.

Thanks for watching and for the support!

[@bradsaunders5367]

Awesome explanation. Watch a lot of vids from NZ, and they always use poly leaders, thought it was their definition of mono vs flouro!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here.

[@MrMertzrl]

As always another great video! Great detail and explanation of what, when, and how to use the different style of leaders. Thanks MRO!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

Should probably email y'all, but going to ask here anyway. Got a 7wt streamer x and looking for a sinking fly fly to go with it

[@Madriveroutfitters]

@@jcambeis Yes, please send this via email to Brian directly and he’ll get back to you there. Thanks.

Oh poop, I sent a letter the other day with a question instead of sending an email to admin. Sorry, dont worry about answering it, dont know why I thought thatde be a good ide. But the card had a bear on it and i know Brian likes Bears so hopefully its at least fun to look at 🤞👍

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for the note. We'll tell Brian to be on the lookout. He does like Bears!!!

[@austinelliott2798]

The thing I hate about poly leaders is how they come with only about 6 in of mono on the tip. What are you supposed to do with that? It's BARELY big enough to tie on a tippet ring if you're careful. The best thing to do is just cut it off and attach your own with a nail knot. It just boggles my mind that they won't invest fractions of a penny to give you a foot of mono to work with. End of rant!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Brian has a few videos on this exact subject. Tie a perfection loop and problem solved.....for starters! Call him if any further questions. Thanks.
