Ok so I guess they not ideal for surf fishing but I'm really fascinated with them, really easy to do and not a lot of knots but then again, I have been doing the easy ones like this guy shows in the following utube

I don't have the time or space to make a jig or however those are called so this method is just fine for me. I guess the question is, how do you determine what mono size you use for certain fly line wt. For instance if I want to make one for my 8wt and one for my 3wt what mono size? The guy says for a 7' leader you use a 21' piece of mono but when I tried I ended up with a 5' 1/2 leader. Can I build two color leaders with this method?
Thanks a lot guys.
