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)

Very happy with these leaders that are now my go to leader for summer carp fishing. They have comfortably handled a good number of double figure carp including three over 20lbs, one of which was 28lbs 7oz. I have every confidence in their knot strength.
never had any problems with these holds knots ok
