I am planning to try my hand at making furled leaders to use fishing spring creeks for brookies. I usually use a 9ft knotted mono leader with 5x tippet.

I need to know what material or thread to use to make a fine 6-7 foot leader ending in size3x-5x. I am hoping to find mono thread. Any other suggestions are welcome. Would synthetic polyester or dacron thread be usable? If thread is preferred, what color is best? Tan? Grey?

Thanks for any comments.
