    The diameter of the butt depends on the diameter of the tippet. I have a spreadsheet of patterns for tying your own leaders. Send e-mail via PM and I'll send you a copy. I'll defer the length question to those with more experience. I usually carry 9' and 7' leaders. But, I'm sure there are other opinions on length.
