Thanks Jim. I never followed that discussion thread closely but once the 00 rods came up I was curious. A most interesting site and formula.

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.
