I just built one out of 4# fluro. It wanted to spin up on itself at the free ends, but I got my two kids to help keep enough tension to allow the ends to spin and me to continue to furl.
-- I think it is for that same reason that these will not unfurl during fishing - as a fish pulls, it will only serve to straighten the coil, but unless the fish spins counter to the furl direction (and hundreds of times at that), the furl will stay.
I'm going to try mono next to see if it has the same tendancy to spin up at the bitter ends as I furl. If yes, I'll try and use a couple of 1/4 ounce sinkers to keep tension on the ends.
Thanks for pointing out the video! I can now say my snowday was productive (besides all the shoveling)!

I ran across this video on youtube the other day. I have never seen this before, but I gave it a shot and it works great. Has anyone every had these guys unravel during fishing? Seems like an easy and cheap way to build some leaders during the "thunder snow". I was pretty surprised how well it worked.
