Typical Fly Usage For Leader Sizes

To calculate leader size a time used formula is to divide the fly size by 3, this gives you and approximate tipper size. For example for a size 16 fly 16/3 = 5.33 so recommended leader diameter should be 5x to 6x (as can be seen from the chart below)

Product	Used for Fly Sizes
0X	2
1X	4 to 8
2X	6 to 10
3X	10 to 14
4X	12 to 16
5X	14 to 18
6X	16 to 22
7X	18 to 24

Used these in Alaska for Sockeye, Pinks, Coho and Chum. They turn over a big heavy fly beautifully and did not let me down once. A great product and well priced.
