Hello, I had tried to do 3,6 m with this sistem and it is quiet imposible, the two sides, even if I slpit them well after the second metre twisted, the sides twist itself. I had tried to tide the sides to a fixed spot in the walls with rollings so they can roll free and maintaining the tension while I'm twisting them but anyways get a mess after the 2metres twisted. My question is, how do you do it? How is it posible to twist 3,6 metres 50/50 and not even question 33/33/33. Thank you for your time 👍
Oh no. I ordered a three length zoom rod. Crap. I'm going to make a jig for lines on the deck railing. ( its already a 2×6 14ft long.) Kinda knew Im going to be making lines. Just had to have options ha ha ha ha ha Thanks..
This is fantastic. Thank you very much. So clearly explained – even an idiot like myself can probably do it. Giving it a crack today. Thanks again – from Australia.
Load of crap. It might work that way with a 5 foot leader but try 12 feet of braid and see how you go. Theres' got to be a better way. This is a complete and utter waste of time. Can you tell I'm pissed off at wasting 45 minutes of my time?
How do you know what line weight to use to build, for example, furled leader that is for a 3 weight fly line and 4x tippet? For a simple tapered leader, I can just use a formula but this seems more complicated to figure out which weight line to use.
I’ve made a few of these. I primarily go after panfish. These leaders hold the loop even shooting under tree overhangs. I just made mine from 12# test mono I had laying around.
As another commentor said, these should not be confused with true furled leaders. Furled leaders are a completely different process. I feel that they work a little better than twisted leaders, but are much harder to make and often have very stiff butt loops. Twisted leaders do have their place. I once was forced to make one in my boat while tarpon fishing, having left my leader wallet behind. All I had to work with were spools of tippet that seemed too light to use as butt section. I twisted a leader from 30lb to make a 120lb butt and a 60lb mid tied to a 40lb fluoro tippet. It worked. I Landed an 80lb tarpon. The same leader then snapped at the double overhand knot on the next fish. But that was possibly user error. Still, it has kept me from purposely using twisted for bigger fish. One other point, dont put a tippet ring on a heavy leader the way that is shown. Better to use a loop to loop like process to double the line holding the ring or a high grade micro swivel. Of course the tippet ring should be bigger and stronger making the process of looping it on easier.
In relation to my previous comment on using a hand drill to create the twist, one could count the number of turns of the drill and simply add more for a stiffer line or less turns for a more limp line. For a given length of line, a hand drill and the same number of turns would always produce leaders with the same stiffness.
Very good video. What prevents the butt end and the tippet-ring end from simply unwinding ? Is it because during the spinning process you allowed the tag ends to rotate in your hand rather keeping them fixed ? I tried to make a furled leader a few years ago using a hand drill to create the twist. I must have fixed the tag ends because having finished twisting the whole length, the line untwisted itself !
Those might be great (I don't know), but they are NOT FURLED LEADERS, THEY ARE TWISTED. Anyone who has ever used a furled leader knows the difference. Please educate yourselves on this. Your videos are usually spot on, this is a huge miss.
A fishing leader is a little but efficient device that protects the lures or baits from the sharp edge of the rock and the healthy teeth of the monster. It also helps the lures and line invisible to the fish. The 9-15 inches Leader are generally using for the sharp teeth of larger fish like Northern Pike, Spanish Mackerel, and Muskies
I've been using this method for awhile now, I use 25-30lb Berkley BG for bass in 5'-5.5' and I tried storing them like you and they were impossible to get the memory out so now I just store them hanging up straight, however when transporting them I do use large loops about like you'd use for a bull whip. I imagine they have less memory in smaller diameters.
A very interesting video thank you. Presumably the doubling of the nylon and twisting strengthens the leader? For example, does 8lb nylon give the leader greater (perhaps 16lb) strength? Cheers
Thanks for your time putting this tutorial together. I used to make mine like this too, by hand. It was frustrating with long leaders. Please check out the link to a video that describes how to do it with a drill. It truly is the way to go, the results are professional.
Again, thanks for all the excellent videos you post.

The tip for removing the tippet ring from the clasp with the line… pure genius born of frustration. Much appreciated. Fish on!

Fabulous tutorial. Clear, concise and well presented. Crystal clear in what can at times be a Muddy Swamp for a Newbie. Thanks.

Amazing video. 👍👍
Suberb fella 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for showing this technique, much appreciated!
Use SOS. 2lb mono.
If you tie this without a tippet ring, can you just add the tippet directly to the loop with a clinch knot?
Can you not just use regular fly line backing without any modifications as a furled leader?

Excellent instructions and explanation
Thanks very much for the video
So for the 8 lb ultra green at furled leader how long do you recommend and also what length and size of tippet should I use ?
Could you use this for standard fishing with standard fishing line?

Thank you for that example with Tippett ring.
How do you measure how long? Line counter?
It would be a fairly big connection to your fly line would it not catch in the top guide I've never used a furled leader but I'm thínkn of trying them
Perfect instruction and great tip! Greetings from ole Sweden!

Tried this technique and it worked brilliantly!

I imagine they have less memory in smaller diameters.
I the furled leader suitable for fine dry fly fishing?
Awesome tutorial! I recently started fly fishing for bass and I'm fresh out of bass leaders so I'm going to give these a go. Thanks so much!
A very interesting video thank you. Presumably the doubling of the nylon and twisting strengthens the leader? For example, does 8lb nylon give the leader greater (perhaps 16lb) strength? Cheers
Wonder if anyone has ever tried this in a tarpon leader.

Thanks great tutorial – guess what i am doing tomorrow…
