Bob... when using a long tippet on a furled, I still like to step it down... ie: 5' furled leader to 2' 4x to 2-3' 6x = a pretty standard 9' small creek leader for me. This will help it straighten out more.
Fishing is the most wonderful thing I do in my life, barring some equally delightful unmentionables.

Also, Parts 1 and 2 of my Furled leader exploration give a lot of my opinions, so please accept the shameless plug for my website.
