I see, the rod I have that says 5-6 weight on it, it is really limber, Maybe I should just order some front weighted line like I have on the heavier rod, and I do like that type line, and use it, cause I really cannot afford a third rod now anyway.. Then, use the heavier rod if/when I go to fish at the river or fast moving stream etc???? Thanks, Chuck
