I do a different taper however, but even the 6' are easy as heck to cast by hand.
The 4 lb. I furl is a bit thick but the fishers here use them for bass bugs and larger deer hair flies. The 6 lb. Vanish is used here for Pike, Muskie and heavy bass slop fishing.


Here is a copy of the little description sheet that I have sent out to the fly shops that carry my leaders.

Trouter excellent dryfly, fish wet as is or apply floatant and it is a floater (I use Red Mucilin myself) Breaking Point 7.5 pounds, 6/0 Uni
