What TFO do you have. I have a Professional and it is a mid flex for sure.
Yes you CAN go one line larger, you can go one line smaller. WHY? well allot of people buy fast action rods (for wind and big flies) and then go one line larger to slow the action down just a bit. Allot of people buy slow action rods and buy one line smaller to speed it up.
The fact the two rods you have are so far apart, I am going to say, buy a 5 weight line, however, sinking line is smaller diameter than a floating line so you could buy a 6 weight for sure.
Myself, I have an 8 weight also, but I use it so rarely, I splurged and bought the multi tip line (15' heads, one floating, intermediate, type II and type V)
About $125., sounds like allot, but four lines and one reel.
For the 5 wt. I would go with the full sink lines for it. I think you will use it more. Or at least I would[
