but i do apply mucilin a night or hours before fishing I've found this pre-planning step to be essential,
from my experiences.

If I apply the Musclin before getting in the car to drive to the stream,
the leader will float all day; but if I apply it stream-side right before getting in the water.
it's only good for an hour or so.

Also,

John Quigley's furled leaders are IMHO, hands-down, the finest furled leaders out there. For me, the 6/0 Danville leaders just can't be beaten. And John is a super guy too. Google his name for contact details.

Another vote for Quiggs. I've had a few and they're the best I know of. For my small spring creeks I get the 5 1/2 ft bright green ones.

If your leaders are made out of mono then you don't need to apply any floatant, but it won't hurt either. If they are made out of nylon or silk thread then some mucilin, or other floatant, is in order. The metal ring should not affect the floatability at all. I can't speak about all the different makers but I have used the ones from Blue Sky and really liked them. I now furl all of my own using 6/0 uni-thread or Danville monocord, and I treat mine with mucilin.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mr flymph) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/143027 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:23:38 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/25450/t/Furled-Leader-Question.html Thanks!!
