Reinforced Furled Spey Fly Fishing Leaders 2011

August 24, 2011

Subjest: Introducing Reinforced Spey Furled Leaders By Cutthroat Leaders!


Spey Leaders from Cutthroat Leaders offer:
More energy for better turnover. Your fly is “tight-line fishing” immediately after the cast. Extremely durable, out last the typical poly leader. Woven in stretch, provide amazing over-strike protection.

Our 10-0” & 11’-6” Spey Leaders offer unparraled enegy transfer from rod to fly. Unlike tapered leaders made from monofiliment or nylon, every bit of energy from the cast actaully travels through the furled leader, your casting and presentation WILL improve. The Dry Fly / Skating leader will allow you to drop a fly onto the water with a fully extended fly line/ leader/ tippet. This means you are tight line fishing immediately. We recommend that you apply your favorite paste type floatant to the upper third (butt section) of the leader. This gives you just the right amount of stick needed for swinging wet flys as well as droping large skating flys as desired. These leaders are very durable and and can last and entire season.

Our Spey leaders have been tested using 6’-8’ of tippet. Even with large wind resistant dry fly’s or large heavy streamers, these leaders turn fly and tippet over with ease.

Our Spey Leaders are constantly being tested by Spey fisherman with years of experience. The most common remark after fishing one of our Furled Spey leaders “Wow, you really have something here, these leaders are amazing…….”
As with anything different, change is tough. Most Spey guys have never used a furled leader and that is our biggest obstacle. Once used, our leaders become most guys’ goto leader. We will be providing a video very Shorty showing how these leaders perform. Both casting and under-water, you will be amazed. Keep an eye out for the Video to be uploaded to this site in coming months.

9'-0” Leader for 10' thru 12' rods
10’-0” Leader for 12' thru 13'6" rods

Spey Cast Furled Leaders New For 2011!

April 7, 2011 Cutthroat Furled Spey Leaders This illustration from 1895 depicts a fisherman during a salmon fly hatch with his spey rod. Spey casting, by definition is a fly fishing casting technique. Spey casting ultimately requires a longer, heavier two-handed fly rod, referred to as a "spey rod. Spey casting is used for fishing larger rivers for catching large trout, sea trout, steelhead or salmon. Spey technique has also been known to be used in saltwater surf casting or even kayak fishing. All of these situations require the angler to cast larger flies long distances. The specific two-handed SPEY CAST technique allows more powerful casts and avoids obstacles on the shore by keeping most of the line in front of the angler. While there are many variations of the Spey cast, the basic technique is broken down into a few simple actions. With your cutthroat furled leader floating directly downstream, the angler first lifts the line off the water with the tip of the rod. The angler then sweeps the line backwards just above the water, and allows just the fly and leader to "anchor" the cast by touching the water one to two rod lengths away. This back-cast is often referred to as the "D-loop", from the curving shape of the line between the anchor and the tip of the rod. While swinging the "D-Loop," it is important to make one continuous, deliberate motion with the rod tip climbing at a 45 degree angle off the water. As the "D-Loop" comes around, the cast is completed by firing the line forward with a sharp two-handed "push-pull" motion on the handle of the rod while making an abrupt stop with the rod tip at the end of the cast. The cast is most easily compared to a roll cast in one-handed fly fishing, although by using the fly as an anchor, the Spey cast allows a greater loading of the rod and thus achieves greater distance than a one-handed cast. The "Spey Cast" technique was originally developed on the river "Spey" located in Scotland.

Tenkara Furled Fly Fishing Leaders New For 2011!

Tenkara Fly Fishing Leaders are hand made in Idaho by CutThroat Leader Co. Tenkara leaders will provide you with the most amazing casting & presentation one can imagine. Furled tenkara leaders are crafted with the same ancient methods that horsehair leaders were created with thousands of years ago. The soft presentation you will get with a “Tenkara Thread Furled Leader” is unmatched by any mono or nylon leader you have used in the past.



Cutthroat offers Tenkara leaders with a tippet ring. This ring makes for fast easy tippet changes without worrying about nipping the actual leader by mistake. The ring is so small that you will not know it is there. Think of the eye of a #16 fly-hook. These rings actually float when attached to a leader that has been treated with floatant.



We recommend that you treat our leaders with muslin or a paste type floatant, you can order Payette paste on our site. This paste not only keeps the leaders floating high all day, but it adds mass to the leader, which aids in cutting through the wind. We also stock tenkara leaders and tippet!



Tenkara leaders in 10’-0” Lengths and 11’-6” Lengths



Cutthroat leaders offer two different strength leaders. Lite/Medium and Medium/Heavy



Tenkara Leader colors Camo (green & tan), Green, Hi-Vis Orange and Pale-Yellow


"No, the leader will not spook fish. Many people ask me about this. Most people fish a store bought 7'-6"-9'-0 long leader. Then attach it to brightly colored fly-lines. Most anglers then add tippet to the end of their leader. Remember that most of these mono / nylon leaders will slap the flie onto the water instead of laying it down gently. I always recommend using between 5-9ft. of tippet between the colored leader and the flie. The difference with my system is that your flies will be presented in such a way that your never before experienced. I have had more than a few customers call or email with stories of fish actually coming out of the water to take the fly before it landed. "How often does that happen to you with your current set-up?" A furled fly fishing leader and tippet package is avaialbe in ur store. Please feel free to browse around our website for tips, information, photo's, and furled fly fishing leaders experiences on our testimonials page. If you have time please watch my informational video above. Best Regards, Mike Morin (Owner/Opperator)."

Why Consider Trying a Furled Leader?
If you are a knot lover even the thought of tying a knot-less leader might trouble you, But there are some distinct advantages, Our cutthroat furled fly fishing leader tapers smoothly from butt to tippet. Additionally, a furled fishing leader has no even zero memory whatsoever. It is as limp as rope. In saltwater fly fishing for example, many fly fisherman who swear by the single-strand monofilament leaders with multiple complex knots might be convinced that a furled leader is simply out of the question. Consider, however, that furled leaders will not and do not kink. The result is no wind knots. They have a superior stretch to standard mono that in single-strand leaders is usually incorporated into class tippets (closer to the fly). they actually turn over much more smoothly and consistently than any step-down, regular knotted leader possibly can. They land on the water like a stonefly or dragonfly ,They are also erfectly Tapered for perfect "Realistic Fly Presntaions" turnovers.


Outlasts Standard Tapered "off-the shelf" Leaders by months
Effective for both Dry and Wet Fly Fishing
Allows Gentle, Accurate Presentations
Absolutely Free of Line Memory
Drag Free Presentation

Cutthroat Furled Thread Leaders will massivley improve all your casting accuracy and your presentatiosn from beginner to expert levels, which ultimately builds confidence. In the hands of a veteran fly caster you will swear you can add another 20ft to your cast
The least understood element of a fly fisherman’s equipment is the leader. Anglers spend large sums of money on rods, reels, even flylines, but place relatively little emphasis on the element of tackle that is second only to the fly in proximity to their fish: the leader. Most flyfishermen spend less than $5 on a leader and then wonder why their aggregate system will not accomplish all the things expected of it. It makes little sense to weaken a wonderful set of equipment by forcing yourself to rely on a cheap inferior leader.

Cutthroat Furled leaders are knotless and will efficiently transmit the energy of the cast every time and because our furled leaders are knotless; there is nothing to get tangled up. our leaders are tapered and limp enough to turn over with the slightest energy, resulting in a very straight presentation. With their streamlined taper and spiraled profile, Hemigways Leaders are less affected by wind than other knotted leaders. The weight distribution of the leader mimics the transition in a tapered fly line and has the same effect, therefore aiding the leader in turning over. Energy is what moves fly line, and the efficient transfer of that energy from the rod to the line to the fly in the course of the cast is absolutely critical. Tapered lines and furled leaders are more effective in transferring energy through the cast because they use thicker, heavier, and stiffer line to move, and turnover, thinner lighter and more flexible line. This helps maintain line speed and makes casting easier. The transition from a fly line that weighs several times that of the average leader material to the tippet and then the fly can be a major problem if the wrong leader is used.
Standard tapered leaders do not adequately transfer the power of the cast to the tippet and fly, often resulting in short or wayward casts, especially in windy conditions. This is not the case with Heminways leaders. If the leader is unable to turn over the fly, the line is possibly hinging or has lost energy and is prematurely terminating in the collapse of the casting loop and possibly causing a tangled mess. The simplest way to minimize casting failure is to form a gradual transition to the fly. This gradual transition of the leader is best done with the furled leader which will slow the speed of the loop until it unfolds, and often presents the fly at the end of a series of S curves on the water, allowing the fly to float without the added drag of the line. The transitional taper of our leaders are carefully matched to the weight of your fly line so you will slow the speed of both the fly and the leader, which means you won’t hit the water with a high impact splash. Also, the taper of the leader will slow down the fly so that it does not spin into a spiral or snap like a whip at the end of your backcast.

Our furled leaders provide unmatched overstrike protection because of there superior elasticity. Throw those shock tippets away! Just hold the butt end in one hand and the fine tip in the other hand. Now outstretch your arms and feel the natural resiliency built into this leader. Don’t loose that really big fish of a lifetime in the last few feet of landing him when lots of pressure is applied. With other types of leaders, your tippet will usually part ways with that trophy when that much pressure is applied. Cutthroat leaders are the real deal. Our leaders have been designed to give you unparalleled performance and presentation on the water, our leaders are carefully assembled to very strict tolerances which have been developed and fine tuned over a span of many years we have eliminated many of the inconsistent results found with other leaders. Don’t be fooled by others with inferior hand-made leaders who claim to make a quality product.

A furled fly fishing leader is typically tapered. The actual length of the leaders varies depending on the appication. For ultimate dry fly fishing many aglers go with a 5/6wt. leader that floats. This gives the angler total casting performance along with the other benefits of using a furled leader. Cutthroat leaders applies floatant during the furling process which aids the leader in boyancy. Many dry fly anglers demand performance out of their leaders. If the leader carries any memory this causes loss of energy and translates to a bad fly presentation. Many studies suggest more than half of catching fish topwater depends upon the actual fly presentation. Fish that are known to be aggressive such as trout in rivers typically feed based on the way their meal is presented to them.

Furled fly fishing leaders have been documented as premier fishing leaders dating back well over 250 years. The tradition is quickly gaining resurgance since these leaders are re-useable, which helps promote sustainability in our environment. With the new resurgence of the art tenkara less ultimately becomes more. Evidence suggests that fly fisherman look at their recreation as a time to get away from everyday life. Traditional japenese fisherman consider fishing to have healing properties. The tenkara fishing art is based around these key elements. Backpack or hike to a secluded stream or river with only a small box of flies, a tenkara rod in tote, a tenkara leader with a small tippet attached which then connects to the fishing flies and no other fishing reels or other combersome equipment. A minimalistic approach to fly fishing which is widely gaining in popularity.

"Since the beginning here at Cutthroat leaders we have heard sceptics." say's Mike Morin. "Many of the river guides were not willing to even try our leaders out of fear they could waiste precious time going with a new leader formula. The fishing guides even mentioned that it may be too long of a learning curve for a beginner or intermediate fly fisherman. Then, they realized my leaders allowed novice fisherman amazing turnovers. For the ultimate dry fly fishing casting experience, try our dry fly furled leaders. We are currently working closely with industry professionals and are in development for spey casting leaders, saltwater fly fishing leaders, tenkara leaders, and nymphing leaders as well as make to order leaders for that special fly fishing application."
