9wt Rod - 11 Wt Line ???

Thanks for the input guys greatly appreciate it.

The rod is a Redington Predator 9wt. I tied up some pretty good size poppers, frogs, & crayfish patters in size 8 10 12. But I think your right I just going to have to bite the bullet and return the 11wt line and buy a 9wt maybe a 10.

On a side note the other line I got was a sinking line but its only 40 ft … Do i just spool in a bunch of backing ???
