[sly]Well, awrigty now.
I never heard of those numbers.
At one time I had a #9 Fenwick Steelhead/Silver Salmon rod.
I had a bunch of lines for that rod.
Among them was a #10 Weight Forward, Shooting Taper, fast sinking line.(it had a litteny of designations. A veritable Pedigree)
It handled like a length of Teflon coated lead line.
It was the most productive line I had for Rainbow. It was always down in the weeds or rocks.
However in a fast river it was a constant pain. It was always wrapped around a rock. Usless.
For a gift, I got a #5/6.
Jeez, what a willow switch! Who can cast with a Limp thing like this?
But in one afternoon I went from a #9 to a #5 and never looked back.
I leaned to love that one.
Once again it was the heavy line that would sink down into the weeds was the big winner.
So now, years later, I'm down to a #4.
Maybe for Christmas I'll see a Type II under the Tree?
