Re: [VFB] rod/line wt

[Gary Miller]

I have a 5 wt St. Croix that I use a 5wt DT on. If I use a WF on the same rod, I go to a 6wt line. A 5wt DT loads the rod nicely, but a 6wt WF seems to load the rod better than a 5wt WF. Not sure why.

I fish a WF2wt line on my Sage DS2 3wt rod, it casts great.  Thought a
smaller line size would make less splash on smooth slow moving water.
