Yes, 8wt stick and I love the 10 on it. I am told it will cast a 12 like a rocket and look forward to trying that this year. You cant go wrong with the airflo cold salt water, I cant find any negatives with the line in all fishing situations. I can also highly recomend thier multi-tip line, a floating running line with four interchangable 12' tips. A floater, int med sink and fast sink. It casts just like a full line and very versatile.

This is just pure BS. Manufactures calling lines an 8 when they`re really a 10. Just so they can spout some PR about how shootable thier lines are. Any rod would cast like a cannon if you overline it by 2 sizes. Wake up man! Just another instance of playing the public for suckers!

Hey Joe Shmo just told me they were comming out with a 10 wt that would handle GBFT!!! Course you gotta put it on a 14 wt reel and you don`t get much backing, but it`ll throw a squid bar!

I didn't know I was sleeping. Whats your point. Obviously I dont listen to the mfs or I would only throw an 8 wt line on my "8wt" rod. I dont consider it overlining anyway, alot of different size lines will work on any given rod. I have rods that seem not to handle higher line sizes as well as others. The Stick is no ordinary rod and was designed to throw different lines for different situations, not mainstream at all. And it casts like a cannon when you go up 4 line sizes. No suckers here. All lines should be listed by Grains anyways.

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...

This isn`t about any rod, but about a manufacturer that list the line as an 8 then puts 350 gr in the first 30 ft.
