How long should leader be for streamers?

3-5 foot
The Leader: We like leaders in the 3-5 foot length. Many different recipes are out their but we recommend about 24” of 20 lbs Maxima and another 12-24” of 10-12 lbs maxima. The sink tip line will bring your fly down so you want it relatively close to the heavier “sinking line”.

How long should a streamer fishing leader be?

four to five feet
