Guest Alan Roe Posted June 8, 2001 Yes they are truly excellent even if the bloke who makes the best ones in the country is a close friend of mine his name is Alan Bithell and if you e-mail me direct I will give you his number.

Guest NickInTheNorth Posted June 8, 2001 A bit of research has turned up this: http://www.fishandfly.co.uk/tackleroom/furled.html and http://www.marksport.com/flyfishing/ They sound good, I guess it's time for me to try them. Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Alan Roe Posted June 9, 2001 They are manufactured out of a single length of the chosen material which is fitted round a jig and twisted in such a manner as to give the required taper, length and action. To see one made is a greater explanation that trying to describe the process in words. Biffo will happily demonstrate the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
