    rod wt question

    Can one go up a line weight on a rod without problems? Example; can you use a 9 wt line on an 8 wt rod? The reel is an 8/9 weight.

    thank you

    The Sage 3400 was about $600, I can get it for 285.00. The Sage 890-4 is about $200.

    I think the price is ok, I was wondering about the performance.

    It's an 8wt rod

    Thanks!
