I wonder if people are overlining the new faster action rods- to slow them
down to get them in synch with what they are used to?

My 2 wt worked better with most standard 3 wt lines, the only 2 wt line it
seemed to cast well was the RIO pocket water 2 wt.


FWIW, both my 2 weights cast better with the rated line. I tried
uplining both, and it made them feel sluggish. I guess it all depends on
how you like the rod to feel?
