I have been researching furled leaders for the last few years. Every time I commit to figuring it out I am always overwhelmed in the complexity of the instructions. What I found is that the process is elementary simple but is quite difficult to explain.





I have boiled the process down to these summary instructions:

1. Wrap 6/0 uni thread around two fixed objects ~2.1x longer than your goal length.
2. Connect to a drill and spin clockwise until it begins to curl up on itself when tension is removed.
3. Fold the leader in half, and spin counterclockwise until it again begins to just start to curl on itself.
4. Insert a paper clip or similar in each end and let unfurl slowly
5. Tie a loop in each end, perfection loop is the easiest to begin with but work towards the shorb loop as it is much cleaner.
