Thanks, Peter. And if it is not trespassing on your patience, perhaps you
could answer another. If a manufacturer says a rod is a 5/6 weight, does
that mean it lies between the two weights or does it refer to a various
kinds of lines?

their line rating so using a #7 on a six weight would be quite
typical.
