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'd guess a printing mistake that didn't get caught in time. Umpqua 5X
has been 4lb as long as I can remember. Umpqua has changed the
packaging just recently, both for leaders and tippets, but what I saw at
the shop was still 4lb even on the new packaging.
