Appears to me that guy has no idea what he's doing.
Anyway, unlike others here, I'm not a fan of connecting the mainsheet to the furling line (despite persisting with it for some time), primarily because I have seen this create a lassoo that I've seen fish get tangled up in (not a good thing, especially when they have a big lure hanging out their mouth). As an alternative, I run the furling line to the portside of the boat, and just leave the line sitting on the portside tramp (and this method is gaining traction with Isl anglers Aus). Its always easily accessible with the left hand, mainsheet controlled with the right. For me its much tidier than having a bunch of rope hanging around the miragedrive well area, which I find is the typical result of connecting the lines.
That might well work if you have a tramp, but doesn't without, as you then have two loose lines hanging around the feet.
