Something reasonably new are these "half-size heavier" weight forward
floating fly lines.

SA/Mastery makes the "GPX" series and Rio makes the "Rio Grand" that come
only in weight forward floating lines and are about a half size heavier than
the normal weight forward lines.

For example you might think of these as a "WF 5.5 F".

Today this is what we put on most faster rods and it has been working very
well for us.

It is also good for the new fly casters because they can feel the rod load
better.

If it is as crucial as I have been led to believe that the line weight
matches the rod weight, what weight line does one use if a rod described
as
a "4/5" weight?
