I purchased a 3-pack Umpqua 9' 5x Trout Taper Leaders over the weekend which
is marked 5 lb on the package. Wondering if this is a printing mistake.
Didn't realize it until I got home. The tip Dia is still .006" and the butt
dia is still .021", but the rating is now 5 lb. instead of 4 lb. I have one
leader in a package from a previous purchase that says 5x 4 lb. The Umpqua
website still says 5x 4 lb.

I've used Orvis leaders/tippets for many years. With a .021 butt and
a .006 tip, the Orvis leader is 5x (five pounds). So, I would guess
that Umpqua would have a similar pound rating with those same
dimensions.
