Spent several hours stomping around the wood in pursuit of the elusive Grouse with rainbowchaser yesterday. He and his buddy Tom flushed 5 or 6 saw 3 got one! (I never saw a bird!!) All in all a great day.
Anyway, later over a cold beer I asked 'chaser about putting a 5 wgt line on a 7' 6" 4 wgt. as I want to keep my reel and line inventory managable.(H&H doesn't have a short 5 wgt kit.) He said the the rod would load faster but I forgot to ask if this would be a help on small streams and would there be a differance between weight forward and double taper?
I have a spare spool for the 5 wgt, and plan to load it with a double taper 5 wgt.
Or, do I just load the spare spool with a WF 4 wgt?

I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!
