What is the "Common Cents" system? Oh, did you mean common sense? I have none or I would be flying into Springfield versus Little Rock. How windy is that last road? Guardrails?

Casting the rod with the line.
I designed the 1 wt bamboo rod but the Common Cents
system shows it is a bit lighter than a 1 wt. I cast a
Sage 1 wt line, it cast OK, The line was bad for curly
memory, cast the Orvis 1 wt line a bit soft, The Rio 1
wt line casts perfect on that rod. I have made several
other bamboo rods that acted the same way with
different lines.

Okay, I'll pretend there really is a 00 and 0 weight
rod. Now, isn't the key to have a 00 or 0 weight line
so they do what they're supposed to. Is such a line
made?
My feeling is that these rods must be able to cast a
line comparable so as not to put down the most
skittish fish. Even then, the shadow of the line
comes into play more than the vibration of line
hitting water possibly. Isn't there a clear fly line?
I've never owned or cast a rod lighter than my 3 wt
(which casts very easily) and am intrigued with such
light rods and line. Also, I often go up a line
weight on certain of my rods under certain conditions
but possibly I have become too exclusive of WF lines.
I saw Tony mention a DT being the perfect line for a
particular rod. How do each of you determine which
line is best for each particular rod? Does each need
to be cast first?

I don't know what it means in real life terms, but
Orvis makes a zero-weight
rod. I cast one at a show, and it was OK for a toy,
but not what they
wanted for it $$$-wise.
Here's a Sage site with 0 and 00 rods:
