24 inches-.007 or .006

total 143 inches. yep a inch short, but on my jigs, the 11's are 11 1/2.

just add a inch to tippet, if exact is your game.

Naturally you will have to add some length for knot and tag loss.
add some length to butt, if nail knotting to fly line. 10 inches would be good. I never get the nail knot right the first time.

I think it's a good leader but what do i know.
