line weight
#1
I have always wondered what the differences are in putting different weight lines on a rod. I have always stuck with the lighter weight referenced, but I don't really have an understanding or reason why -- 5 wt on my 5/6 rod and 3 wt on a 3/4 rod.

For instance if you have a 7/8 wt rod, what would be the pros and cons of putting either weight line on? What is the mechanics or reasoning here? Does anyone have any knowledge in this area, or know where I can look it up? So far I have struck out on looking it up.

Thanks!
