Estimating the rating of a rod
"No left turn" wrote in message ...
Salvaged gear -
I have a flyrod set up that I like,
'but as it was hand made,
nothing is labeled I want to know the weight of the line.
Can't I weigh a specific amount of the line I like best, get a ball park on the weight of the rod. Anyone know a link to a site that will give me this info
Thanks
Steve
Steve, it's best to take the flyrod to a local reputable fly-fishing shop, and let experienced casters examine the rod. They could probably give you a good ballpark estimated weight, and even attach their reels to try out different size lines, as they have many ready to go for their demo rods.
