My brook fishing rod is a 6'6" Wright& McGill Feather Light (c. 1963)
Even though it calls for a 5wt line, it's really a 3/4
And even underlined like that with a 4wt line, the rod loads with only one foot of line out of the tiptop
I can hold the rod with the butt/reelseat behind my back to cast sidearm and still hit my target
Not things you can do with any plastic rod that I've ever cast
