[VFB] AFTMA chart

[Wes Wada]

Hmmm. Doing some conversions from grains to ounces, and made the 
interesting discovery that there is only .2 ounce DIFFERENCE in weight 
for the first 30' of flyline comparing a 7 wt. to a 10 wt. line.  Would 
have expected it to be more than that.  Does that surprise anybody 
else?  I am guessing the real difference in 'feel' in casting the two 
lines comes from a heavier weight running line for the 10wt.?
