Default is a waterworks force 3 to big for class 4 rod ??

Therefore i would like to know if a waterworks force 3 can be used with
a 4 weight and for a 6 weight system with shootinghead and 100 m backing
??

Best wishes

Jakob


I use a Force 3 On my 9' #5 Sage XP, and also on my 9' Scott S3S #6
sal****er (shootinghead system).
But again. If you use a 8' or smaller #4, I would recommend the ULA 2 or the
Sage 3200 reel, which I use myself on my Sage SLT 8' #4.

Another thing. The weight that Waterworks state on their reels are NOT
correct. The force 2 weighs almost the same as the Force 3. My friends and I
made quite a few test, and we have yet to find two identical reels which
weighs the same! (without line and backing of course). But again. I have not
seen a flyreel which is more durable, have so good brake properties and are
as lighweight as the Force series. The smaller Sage series are also very
nice for smaller rods - and guess who makes the reels for Sage... If you
guessed Waterworks, you're right )
