Sax, I think that Slinger is saying basically the same thing that you're saying... The problem is that someone is either misrepresenting their product and/or they've lost touch with how savey their customers have become. Most of the "River Runs Thru It" guys have come and gone and the real flyfishermen remain. These guys are smart and can see thru the BS. I find it ironic that a rod (any manufacturer) listed as an eight may have a sweet spot two weights higher. Maybe the rod manufcturers should be bracketing with a range of line weights or a rating system using grains...
