Richie gives a clear breakdown. I sent my post fast and could have been clearer. My formula is 2 to 1. Using fluorocarbon to cut through the water when fishing deep I'll go 2' butt 1' tippet.
When conditions call for going shallower or around the rock gardens I'll switch to Maxima and up to 4' butt 1' tippet for a slower drop.
Using a looped tippet wastes less material (snags, breakoffs ,fly changes) than just using a straight section of leader.
