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

High quality copolymer leader

Friday, 6 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.
