Warchild, it all depends on the action of the rod. I know a few people that will underline to speed a soft action rod up and overline to slow a fast action down.
Never really understood why they didn't just buy a rod that fit their style and a matching line.
I have done both, but only cause I might be using a particular rod and don't want to switch rod so, just add the line. Like, when I am fishing the rivers I like to use my 4wt, but I only have 5wt, 6wt 7wt and 8wt sinking line, so, I put a 5wt on my 4wt rod. I will eventually get a 4wt. Type II I think.
