"The diameter, rule of thumb, for all types of lines, is the butt of the leader is 2/3's the diameter of the tip of the line."
Using this rule, if the tip of your silk line is .020 then 2/3's equals .013" which should be the butt of your leader. The key is knowing what the diameter of the tip of your line actually is.

Building a standard leader calls for a stiff butt material. Olaf recommends a soft... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (johnr) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/136356 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 13:01:26 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/24060/t/Silk-lines-leader.html
With a plastic line, you try to match the diameter of the line end with the diameter of the leader (more or less). Since a silk line will have a smaller diameter than a plastic line, should the diameter of your leader butt still match the diameter of the line, and if so, can you match the nylon leader butt diameter without using a smaller (lower) breaking strength leader ?
