"It delivers all the benefits of my previous furled mono leaders but far more so. The new leader is softer and more flexible. It does not twist as much. Accuracy is greater. Delicacy and stealth of presentation are far greater... I am now a convert. Highly recommended."

Just a quick note to say a big thank you. The response over the last week has been wonderful, and every order has now been made and despatched. Phew! My little workshop has been busy and very happy. The post office is pleased to see me again!

The drought and heatwaves emptied the rivers, anglers stayed home, and orders have dried up. Our stockist has paused ordering until next year, The EU has made things a lot harder and prohibitively costly for cottage industry to post there, and a key companion product we rely on has been hard to get. We're making plans for the future, and closing is one of the options if things don't turn.

For decades, the traditional twin-leg furled leader has been the accepted standard in fly fishing. And to be fair, they work. They’ve been around for generations and have earned their place on the water. But tradition and development are not always the same thing. At The Furled Leader Co., we didn’t want to simply reproduce what already existed. We wanted to improve it. Every detail of our leaders has been designed around one question: How do we create the smoothest, most eff

Getting the Best Performance from Your Tri-Leg Furled Leader One of the biggest advantages of our new Tri-Leg leaders is versatility. The updated design allows for a much broader range of tippet lengths while still maintaining beautiful turnover, delicate presentation, and excellent energy transfer. With a traditional setup, anglers often feel locked into a very specific tippet length. The Tri-Leg changes that completely. Take our 6-foot furled leader as an example. You can c

As January drifts towards its inevitable end, it always feels like a month best described as hibernation . The buzz of Christmas has faded, the days are still short and cold, and most of us are just finding our feet again after the festive chaos. It’s a necessary pause, I think — a time to reset, recharge, and quietly prepare for what’s ahead. For me, though, February is where the real momentum starts. February is the month I begin planning my fishing year. There’s the practi

w e’re thrilled to share a bit of behind-the-scenes innovation and why you’ll see a small but mighty change to the ends of all our leaders. For some time, we relied on tippet rings from a well-known manufacturer. Unfortunately, we learned the hard way that these rings occasionally had sharp edges inside. That could lead to weakened tippets or even damage to the leader itself. And frankly, that's just not a compromise we’re willing to accept. So, after some fantastic advice fr

Hi folks Its been a hard season with rivers lower than we've seen in many a year. At The Furled Leader Company , we’ve used the low...

September 2025 Fly Fishing & Fly Tying magazine - We were throwing leaders in the air in joyous abandon to read our most recent press review from Magnus Angus in the September issue of Marcus's favourite fishing magazine!

It often begins with a quiet moment—a cup of tea in hand and the best of intentions. “I’ll just check the weather,” I tell myself. “See...
