OK, Thanks to Dan, Rob and Neville I have some idea as to what my problem is. Now to try to solve it.
I have several reels, a couple are mine and a couple came from yard sales. They have fly line on them, BUT, there is no indication as to the weight of the fly line. I must confess that when I got my fly rod and real for Fathers Day last year I neglected to indicate on the real what wt line I had on it. Now for the "Big" question, Without having to remove all the lines and load with new ones and mark the reels, ( An expense I cannot afford right now), is there a way to; A; determine the weight fly line from a reel ? ( Actually weigh the line with something like a powder scale, measure it and find out ??) B; determine the configuration, ( I.E., Wt Forward, Double Taper, ETC.) If not any of the above I assume that the only alternative would be to put each one on each rod and see how they cast and guess. Befuddled, Jimi
