Feather Craft Furled Leaders

Our furled leaders have long been one of our signature products. Feather Craft Furled Leaders are designed to deliver flies with unmatched delicacy, control, and turnover. Built using traditional furling techniques, these leaders provide a smooth energy transfer from fly line to fly, reducing splash and improving presentation—especially with dry flies and light nymphs. Whether you’re fishing spring creeks, tailwaters, or technical small streams, these leaders bring consistency and refinement to every cast.
