Zen Outfitters Uni Dry Fly Furled Leader
The original Furled Leader from Zen Outfitters.
This will likely become your ‘go-to’ leader, just as it has for many people! I personally fish this leader the majority of the time. This is the perfect all around leader for scouting, as it handles pretty much any water and almost any fly. Go from dry, to wet, to nymph and back to dry without changing leaders. Simply add 3-5 feet of 5-7x tippet and a fly, and fish.
Made of polyester fly tying thread, for maximum strength and durability, this thing is a workhorse! 2mm tippet ring is smooth, light and strong and does not abrade tippet material. Tippet ring also makes tippet changes effortless and quick.

I’ve used this leader for over a year now and it’s held up well in rain, wind, and rough waters. The tippet ring makes switching flies fast and easy. No fraying or breakage so far. A reliable choice for daily fishing.

Switched from a previous leader and haven’t looked back. Works seamlessly with both dry and nymph flies. The 2mm ring is smooth and doesn’t damage my tippet. Great all-rounder.

Solid performance in most conditions. A bit stiff when first used, but breaks in quickly. I use it for scouting and it saves time when switching between fly types.
