they do cast like a dream.. I am a rock at casting and these things make me look good.. LOL..

and they are strong.. very strong.. in fact a long time ago when FG sent me one to try I got it all tangled up with the tippet.. I mean it was a birdsnest ... I got it as untangled as much as I could but I had to cut a part of the leader to do it.. I ended up tying a small perfection loop in the end of it and was able to continue fishing.. I mean I got my hook hooked on rocks etc.. I had to tug hard to clear them.. on at least two occassions I lost the fly because the TIPPET broke.. not the leader or the knot I had tied..

ever since then I have been "hooked" on using furled leaders..
