From Wflies:

"We are getting some of the Camou leaders in, but they will be the Siman 9
yard leaders with 15 beads on them. Not the Hends product.

I have no estimate on date as I am waiting to hear back from Jan Siman on
the status of my order.

We will try to source the Hends product and will keep you posted."

The beads were deemed illegal for competition this summer by FIPS-Mouche at the youth worlds. If it matters to you guys or not....

Do these really cast that much better than anything we can make ourselves

Baby face: I'm not about to build a 20+ foot leader and deal with a gazillion knots so that I can do what these leaders let me do.

Do you guys unravel the leader before you boil or leave it coiled up?

Def leave it coiled.

I believe it was Dejon who suggested the 15 ft Rio Steelhead leader. Using tippet rings, I attach the curly. It has worked well for me.

From local hardware store, I bought a metal towel rack and hacksawed it down to a 12 inch rod. The rack is a great size and the rack itself is square for the extra kink. I boiled up about 12 inches of curlies, enough to last for awhile. With the tippet rings, it is easy to tie on a fresh curly every so often. Nothing like fishing with a fresh curly and clean socks.
