Matched line weights

Ray, what has been posted is correct in theory.

Like a battle plan, theory is seldom what happens in reality.

You may notice absolutely no difference. I’ve found that one line weight either way has zero effect on my perception of casting/fishing a line. I simply can’t tell the difference. But I don’t measure how much line is out the tip, I just cast what feels right to me.

The rod may cast easier or require more effort. No way to know for sure until you try it.

I find huge differences in the abilities of various rod and line combinations and adding a single weight difference is often huge in performance measures.

Many companies build lines one weight heavy just to make casting easier for newbies… It does not make casting better, longer, or more accurate.
