Your theory seems to be that the only thing that matters
is the weight of the flyline, that is since 30 ft. of 10wt
weighs the same as 90 ft. of 3wt then both will cast just
fine on a 3wt fly rod. Which is, of course, hooey.

Well now dumbo, it will doubtless be extremely interesting seeing how
you manage to prove that particular bit of idiocy. In point of fact,
most people will find it far easier to cast 30 ft of ten weight, than
90 ft of #3 weight on an accurately rated #3 weight rod. Most will
also be able to cast it a great deal further.

Purely a matter of physics, but of course since you canīt even read a
simple weight table, it is probably beyond you.

Do you even know what keeps a fly line in the air when one is casting?
