Just received telescopic 7-9.6 rod from tenkarabum + starter kit. How much line do I attach to lilian?

In my experience, a good total length of leader & tippet is approx equal to rod length.
If you want to stick to one leader, then why not split the difference between 7 & 9.5ft, ie, 8.25 ft and deduct say, 3ft for tippet. You're then needing a true leader of 5.25 ft.
If you don't mind having 2 leaders then you'll need a leader of 4ft for the short length, and 6.5 ft for the maximum, assuming a level tippet of still 3ft.
Doubtless others will have different views.
Good luck.
