Matching line weight to rod?
Okay, probably a dumb question for most of you. But this dummy needs to know.
Other than going out and buying one of each @ $50 a pop. How does one figure a good starting point for matching a line weight?
And "What" constitutes a good line weight?
Several years ago, I bought what I thought was a good 9 ft. custom rod for a #9-10 weight line. However, all the 10's I've tried makes the rod feel like a limp noodle. For a graphite rod,, my 30 yr. old Fenwick glass rod (8 weight) out performs it hands down for ease of casting, distance, and balance.
Obviously,,, I'm missing something with this custom rod (was made by Fin & Feather - thought to be good?)
HELP!
