Furled Leaders v. Regular Leaders
#11
Personally for a 6 ft rod I'd want one shorter than that for the small streams I'm likely to use it on. I'd want one in the 3-4 ft range. The 5 ft leader probable be fine on that rod for stillwater as well as his longer rods. I just got my 5'8" 1 weight rod on Monday after I got home from fishing. It's a medium action rod like I normally use. I was consistently casting within an inch or 2 of a target at 35 ft within a dozen casts out in the yard. If you make any furled leaders in that 3-4 ft length I'd be more than happy to purchase a couple to try out. I have a 2 inch 2 oz Forbes reel I'm going get set up for that rod.There was a bit of wind blowing on the try out so I'm hopeful it'll be just as sweet when I use it on the water.
