If I may be so bold....I believe what Mike is simply saying is that there
isn't any *standard* for rating a rod, while there is a standard for rating a
line.


I believe he said the following: "There is no "rating" as such for
blanks, or rods either for that matter."

To which I replied: "Total nonsense."

OK. The AFTM rating for a #6 weight line states that the first thirty
feet of line ( excluding the level tip if present) must weigh 160
grains +/- 8grains.

Could you tell me how you would "rate" a #6 weight rod?

I think the point has been made, let's move on...
