70 ft of 7 weight line may over load the 7 wt rod..
whereas 70 ft of 6 wt line may not...

Hi Junaid
I think an 8 wt would increase the distane more than a six weight. I have an 8 wt. on my 7wt. RPL+ and it works well.

Junaid Hassan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have this problem every time i go fishing with my 7 wt. in that I cannot cast any more than 70 ft. Now this is with my Sage 7 wt. which happens to cast very well inside of 70 ft. but no more line outside of it. This is problematic because whenever I am on a lake and am trying to cast to spooky pike/muskies/smallies in clear water i need a relatively long casting distance so i can retrieve for a long distance as well...If i happen to use a 6 wt. instead of the 7 wt line on a 7wt. flyrod, will it improve my distance any more?
