Default Tying Leaders(recomendation on lengths)

Here's a dirt simple method getting to 1X, 3X, 5X, & 7X tippets; not
perfection, but they perform just fine.

Butt is : 3 ft. of 0.020" + 2 ft. of 0.015". All intermediate sections are
2 ft., tippets called out here are 3' and 4' is OK, too.
Modifications "on the stream":
Add 3 feet of 1X .... your at 7', 1X
- cut back 1' of 1X, add 3' of 3X .. your at 9', 3X.
- cut back 1' of 3X, add 3' of 5X .. your at 11', 5X.
- cut back 1' of 5X, add 3' of 7X .. your at 13', 7X.

may fish fear you!

I've just begun tying my own leaders, does anyone have any recomendations

using
Maxima monofilament on the leader profiles to get proper turn over. I have

some
but looking for recomendations on 12 ft- 7X and 9 ft.-7X.
