Joe -

I'm reasonably confident that you could beef up a Uni 6/0 using the same approach, but I wonder if even at that it would handle the larger flies. I think you could just go to the 210 denier Danville instead of the Uni 6/0 - no reason Kathy's method wouldn't work with it.

I think there are some folks doing leaders with much high configuration numbers than 10-8-6 with threads small than the Uni. Seems like Joni has done some really high numbers ??

Not sure about the proportions you are using, and that will be a factor also. Seems to me that some furlers are coming in with much less than 40% at the butt end and much longer mid and tip sections. I think you need the longer butt section to help kick over the bigger flies.
