I use the Maxima and the fluorocarbon to make my leaders. 2 spools of 40 lb. Maxima, a spool of 30 lb. Maxima, and a spool of 20 lb. (or 16 lb) Orvis fluorocarbon.
4 feet of 40, 2 feet of 30, and 2 - 3 feet of fluoro tippet (extra foot because it gets cut back pretty quick changing flies), either 20 or 16 lb. I used a Surgeons loop or perfection loop on the top end, and tie the sections together with Surgeons KNOTS. To keep the fluorocarbon tippet from slipping, I'll tie that in with 5 turns, or 4 or 3 turns surgeons depending on the tippet thickness. That way the fluoro won't slip.
