Approximate Leader Butt Diameters for "Contact" Fly Fishing Leaders
Using Cortland Mono
5wt- 6wt = .020"
7wt- 8wt = .023"
9wt- 10wt = .027"
11wt- 12wt = .029"
Using Maxima Clear
5wt- 6wt = .017"
7wt = .020"
8wt = .022"
9wt- 10wt = .024"
11wt- 12wt = .027" (move to Rio Saltwater Mono as Maxima stops at .024")
These are again approximate and may fluctuate a bit based on the exact taper of the fly line. You may have to experiment a bit. Remember that the butt section should appear a bit stiffer than the fly line when you do the "bell curve" test.
Any questions as always, feel free to call us at the shop.
