CutThroat Furled Leaders

Why Cutthroat furled thread leaders are the best choice for dry fly fishing...  Furled leaders have small grooves that are created during the furling process,  these grooves actually grip the surface tenson of the water.  But because the  leader is memory free, the leader simply floats down river without drag.  This  helps with the most common dry fly presentation issues. The surface of moving water is full of many micro currents that we as fly fishers  never see.  Sure, we can foam lines, soft water, slower current because of  obstructions, etc.  But even in a small section of moving water, there are micro  currents that are constantly affecting our fly, tippet, leader and fly line.  Easier Mending:  When using a Cutthroat thread furled leader, line mending  and leader control are simply put, impressive.  Reason for this, the leader  anchors to the surface of the water allowing the fly fisher to manipulate line  without actually dragging the leader/tippet/fly.  With standard leaders, there is  no friction between the leader and the water.  When a mend is made, a regular  tapered leader gets pulled through the water moving the tippet & fly.    Drag Fly Drifts: Because the leader is 100% memory free, it does not fight the  surface current.  Meaning the leader sits ontop of the water and the small micro  currents that do occur simply manipulate the leader (adds curves/bends/etc).   With a stiffer nylon leader, these micro currents get acted upon via the stiff nylon  leader.  Simple physics, if the stiff nylon pushes against the water current,  the currents in turn push back.  With a thread furled leader, there is no pushing,  the leader is simply along for the ride.  It cannot be over stated how important  this is when dry fly fishing.  Just add a length of tippet from 3'-0" to 8'-0" depending on conditions.   If throwing smaller tippet like 6x & 7x.  I like to start with a length of say 4x or 5x  and then tie on a length of 6x or 7x.  Reason being, 6x & 7x tippet does not have  enough mass to turn over long lengths of tippet. Happy Fishing...
