Since the "weight" of a fly line corresponds to optimal loading of a rod
of similar "weight" with 30 ft of the line out, Orvis has introduced
this marker to let you know when in fact you have enough line out to
load the rod properly.

No, just kidding. Send it back.

JR,
That may in fact be the case. I once had a WF (Cortland IIRC) that had a
distinct bump at the end of the WF section (more noticeable than just the
change to a straight taper). The literature that came with the line made
mention of this feature.

BTW the"O" is running @10,400CFS!!! - was 200CFS when you & I last
fished it.

Well, Tom, now I don't know what to tell you. I was just trying to be
cute, but....... maybe you should call Orvis first.


Yes I called Orvis. One thing good about Orvis, first and foremost is
customer satisfaction. They told me the knot in the line is not suppose to
be there, and for me not take a chance and bring the line back.
