What’s the best material to use, when constructing your own furled leaders for fly fishing?

I’ve been playing with making my own, as I like them. I’ve only used cheap mono, so far. What is the best construction for a furled leader?
Haz. LMFAO. You cheeky minx!

I use Maxima as (in my experience) it is abit stiffer and stronger than other brands, being that way, the transfer of energy from the cast enables a nice presentation.

If I’m fishing with nymphs I prefer florocarbon (Seaguar being my preferred brand). You can tie the entire leader from floro, but you can get by quite nicely using only the lower 2 or 3 sections depending on water depth.

Floro will sink and is virtually invisible to fish making it a superior choice for subsurface angling, while traditional mono is more buoyant, making it better for dry fly presentations.

The “standard” formula for constructing your own leader is the 60-20-20 principle, I’vee attached a link that will explain in great detail all you need to know about leaders as well as a “calculator” for you to tie your own.

Now, if you must, I’ll address the furled leader: I am not a big fan of them because I don’t believe they are worth the cost and I don’t think that they are very versatile (others may disagree, and that’s OK)

Here’s a link to everything you need to know about how to make your own – plus the pros and cons of them
