hours checking for 2 wt lines (including ebay) and found nothing under 40
bucks. at this point, cabelas has the "cheapest" at $39.95...it's their
house brand Prestige line, which i have used successfully on many a
smallmouth g just goes to show that nothing is too good for my little

Any problem going up to a 3? I went through this same thing in July
(the 2wt search) and there ain't much out there, but a buddy had one he
offered as backup, so I just took what I had. I tried a 3, just to see,
and didn't notice much difference (on a 6' 6" 2wt).

Hi Tom,

About 90% of all 2 weight rods would work better with a 3 weight line.

Look for some on close-out or on ebay. WF3F

If they make the SA/Mastery "Head Start" in a WF3F then that would be a good
line becuase it has shorter tapers that would be better for panfish flies.

In other words, a fair number of 3-weight rods are mislabeled as
2-weights. Golly. The "industry" better get on the ball and mislabel
more 3-weight lines as 2-weight, or the suck..., uh, customers are going
to start thinking they're being had...

As a consumer I think the pattern of not following the standards that have
been accepted for a long time, sucks. With flylines, this is getting to be
somewhat commonplace. For example, some lines sold as 5 weights are
not 5 weights based on the standard. Maybe this is starting with rods too.

It seems ironic, based on what PC reported: spey casters are trying to
establish a standard to make things less confusing, the "regular" fly
gear industry is ignoring established standards and things are getting
muddled.
