Murf, There was a flurry of interest in the Common Cents system here a few months back. I sent copies of the series of articles that ran in RodMaker magazine to those that wanted them.
If you or anyone else is still interested in this system, there is now a web site that carries all the info from the magazine series. It is: http://www.common-cents.info/ To give an idea, heres a quote from the site: This was the question that Dr. William Hanneman asked himself some years ago as he pondered why no two 5-weight rods possessed the same amount of power. After all, just what makes a 5-weight rod a 5-weight rod? At what point does a 5-weight rod become a 6-weight rod? Contrary to popular belief, there is no standard nor system to quantify or measure rod power by objective means - that number you see on the side of your rod is a purely subjective rating.
