Hello,
Wante to try some double taper line..Have a friend who is getting rid
of some DT line that he never used, I have a 5/6 weight Redington
moderate action 9' rod. He has a 4wt DT and a 6 wt DT for sale.
Wondering if I should try it out but not sure if It would be wiser to
go up a weight from the rating or down a weight from it...or just wait
and buy some 5wt DT.
Just looking for some help or experiences..
THanks,
Brian

What are you intending to do with the line(s)?

Er, no, you're going to assume it...since the OP said nothing about
fishing, casting accuracy games, etc., there isn't enough info for an
educated gue...ah...nevermind...

You don't know what the words "guess" and "assumption" mean, do you?

Fish..or weave an Ethiopian Chest Plate worn by the rightful
firekeeper. But I'm leaning towards fishing. Rocky River in Ohio
smallmouth small/medium river...it's too good a deal to pass up I'll
go with the 6 and give it a whirl.
Thanks for all the info.

If you can, without buying it, take the 4 along as well. Fish with the 6
for a while and then fish with the 4. By the end of a day you should have a
pretty good idea of which you like better. At any rate, the experience will
be of more value to you than all the advice you can get here.

Thanks for all the info.

You're welcome.

Wouldn't work very well. Too much stretch in the line.....damps vibration.
There are other problems, but there is no need to go into them as one killer
is sufficient. Steel wire is much better.

Thanks for clearing that up wolfie.

You're welcome.
