The rule of eleven helps to calculate the diameter of a leader,
Fly Fishing leaders are typically indicated in an "X" value, such as 1X, 2X etc.
So how thick is a 4X leader ?
To determine the diameter of the leader use .011 inch = 0X If your leader is
.007 inch, deduct the 7 from eleven and you will find that .007 is a 4X leader.
