I have been puzzling over this for a long time and finally decided to ask. Why do some rods have a single weight designated and others are shown as 3/4 or 7/8? Some manufactures show some lines of rods one way and others the other. Redington is just one example. Usually it is their less expensive line that has this dual line weight designation. Is it that the quality control on these less expensive rods is so loose that they don't know how they are going to come out or is there some other explanation?

It would sure be a help if a representative of one of the rod companies would explain this. If not does someone else have the answer?
