I failed to mention in my previous response that this is perhaps the
most inspired bit of FFing marketing malarkey of all....

"...And now that you are no longer a poor rank beginner, or even one of
the common mass of *ordinary* fly fishers, you're ready to *move up* to
one of our fast fast fast action rods, rods geared to the most expert of
experts!! insert testimonials from the usual professional FFing shills
here And to go with one of these marvels of the modern rod-builder's
art, you should *move up* to a special line as well, one made especially
a little heavier than *ordinary* lines, a line that can properly load
the new generation of fast fast fast super rods!!!"

Sotto voce: ["Of course since the object is to make your fast fast fast
rod cast like the medium-fast rod you'd be better off with anyway, you
*could* just put an ordinary one-weight-heavier line you already have on
it, but how'd we make any money that way......?"]
