You are always making adjustments to your casting stroke for the varied amount of line you have out and I suspect most due this without realizing it. Therefore, I do not see precise line weight to be a major issue.

Good question. When I say that 10 grains will affect the cast ability of a line I am talking about what is known as the Skagit style of casting a 2 handed rod. Using this style a somewhat exact amount of line is outside the rod tip for every cast making the weight of the line important.
