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 tippet size.
For example for a size 16 fly 16/3 = 5.33 so recommended leader diameter should be 5x to 6x

High quality copolymer leader 06 July 2018 | Howard
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.
