FAQs

What is the weight system?

 
Rods and lines are rated by a weight numbering system. Weight codes are integers assigned to the actual weight, within a given range, of the first 30 feet of fly line, not including the tip section. Progressively stiffer rods require higher weight lines to load properly. Therefore, matching a rod and line of the same weight insures maximum performance. Choose a weight based on the following fishing situations.

Delicate weights (1,2,3) Ultra-light trout and panfish, best used with small flies, ideal for spring creeks, small ponds, and wary fish. Difficult to cast in anything stronger than a gentle breeze. Restricted to small flies only.
Light weights (4,5) All-around trout and panfish rods. Light-action bass rod. Good for almost all freshwater. Best combination of delicacy and short-range power. Difficult in windy conditions. Five weights are the most commonly sold trout & panfish rods - widely available.
Mid Weights (6,7) Best for bass, large trout, and most big lake species. A heavy-duty panfish rod. As a saltwater rod, good for school trout and rat reds. Handles wind up to 20 knots. All rods in these weights should be at least 8 1/2 feet to handle the all the different situations they are suited for.
Power Weights (8,9) The most popular saltwater rods - used for all species up to 25 pounds. Best rods for salmon, stripers, redfish and big bass. The shorter rods in this category - 8'6" and 9'0" are Ideal for large hair bugs and other wind-resistant flies. The longer rods are used primarily for distance casting streamers.
Tarpon Weights (10,11,12) Used for tarpon, jacks, bull reds, and other saltwater species between 25 and 200 pounds. Also used for king salmon. Nearly all rods in this category come with fighting butts, which help the angler leverage the lifting of big fish. Most 12 weights also come with a fighting grip above the handle.
Big game weights (13,14,15) Necessary for tunas, large billfish, Great Whites, and other monsters of the deep. Specialty rods made for the lifting of big fish. Usually a "cast" of this rod is executed in the middle of a chum line when the fish appears.
