I am considering purchasing an Albright GP rod labeled as a 9 foot, 5/6 rod. The company will provide either a five weight or a six weight line to use with this rod. It is up to the customer. I immediately thought that a six weight line would be the best choice for this rod. However, I do not a nine foot, five weight rod. So I am assuming that a five weight line will perform well with this rod. Is their any performance differences if I chose to use a five weight line instead of a six weight line with this particular rod.
I would appreciate the expertise of the readers of this bulletin board related to this issue. Thank you so much!
