What make our furled
leaders different?
· Our Furled leaders are made on a precision
furling system that allows us to control all of the parameters that go into
making a furled leader.
· We have spent years developing our formulas,
working with professional guides and perfecting our furling machine, to get the
best performing leader on the market.
· All of our leaders are made with 5 segments that
give them a more uniform taper and better performance. These custom made
tapered leaders are one continuous strand and made with only the best
materials. We inspect and test all of our leaders before we ship.
· Our Leaders will not fray like leaders
made with fly tying thread. We have all seen how the thread can fray on your
flies with heavy use. Your line gets the same punishment on rocks and snags.
Why risk losing a fish of a lifetime with a frayed thread leader.
· Shorb loops on both ends or tippet ring on the
tippet end make attaching this leader to your fly line or tippet a breeze and
saves time, giving you more time on the water.
Given the advantages and
the fact that one
leader can last all season makes our furled leaders a low cost option.
About Furled Leaders:
Furled leaders are a
knotless tapered fly fishing leader made with several strands of material that
are spun together (think tapered rope). They are known for their high
performance, low memory and the ultimate in delicate presentations, making
furled leaders are a great choice. Furled leaders aid in turning over your
fly and these leaders lay out perfect every time. Furled leaders can also
improve your roll cast. These leaders are stronger than other
tapered leaders. Furled leaders work as a shock absorber that will help
keep your fish from breaking off. Bottom line is that our furled leaders
will help you cast and fish like a pro!
Unlike other tapered
leaders you find in the stores, our leaders come with shorb loops on both ends
or a tippet ring on the tippet end that allow you to change out the tippet when
it gets too short. Don't throw away the leader; just replace the tippet by
using a loop to loop connection. The final length will vary depending on
the length of tippet that is added. (Typically 18 inches to 4 feet)

Product review
MDE Custom Furled Leaders
I apologize but because of a full schedule I have moved up Saturday’s product
review. So let’s get started. A few weeks ago I came into contact with
MDE Designs. He sent an array of various leaders for our product review.
Cadillac years ago started a campaign saying this was not your father’s caddy
anymore. Well these leaders are definitely not either. The first thing that
popped out to me was how clear, clean and thin these leaders are. It had been
years since I have even considered using one. That thought process has now
changed. Over the last week field testing I was shocked. The fluorocarbon
leaders were in fact undetected even in gin clear water. They come in various
lengths and wt.
3-9 wt along with a nymphing and streamer leaders. No need to bore anyone with
specifics as these can be researched on their website which will be posted
below. Their claims of durability are quite accurate. I tried to literally burn
these leaders on wood and hot metal. It was unsuccessful. Leader memory is very
low. Price for such a product seems very reasonable. With that being said I can
highly recommend this product. It is also important to state that these reviews
are totally unbiased with no payment of any kind. Simply just for us as the
consumer .

I am a convert… these
leaders perform well indeed… they turn over the tippet and they are easy to
cast. I am truly impressed. I am about to order three more… and I am so pleased
to have made your acquaintance. In any case, an order for three more furled
leaders is coming. I did impress one of my friends with casting a furled
leader… he too has never tried one and is likely to send in an order. Thanks for making my fishing more enjoyable. - Jim in sweltering hot Vermont
I loved the leader you

I got
the leaders you sent. We plan to give them a try this week on the Carson. We
passed out your cards and gave out a leader to a guide who was very interested
in furled leaders. Cathy says it is easy to
promote a product you believe in! - Sue
The three leaders
arrived today and I am so pleased. Thank you, thank you, for superior service.
Your extra effort to ship in a hurry means so much. You made my day!
Thanks so much… positive feedback coming... Jim H.
Remember I told you
about my neighbor, the Idaho Power Fish Biologist, I'm giving him 2 of those
samples you gave me. I told him how well they work and he wants to try. –
