AFFTA line weights vs manf stated weights...WTF? (Bass Line)

[Northern]

I wish I was that organized! I love the idea of keeping a spreadsheet of weights and what works best where. Great idea!

I've been thinking about a Titan Long for my 7wt streamer/bass rig. You like it?

I do - I have them in 6, 7, 8, and use them more often than any other floater in my arsenal. For bass and salt.

How in the hell can you all enjoy fishing with a fly rod when you all over think what you are doing.

I think about all that stuff off the water, and think about nothing but the fishing on the water.

Yup totally agree. Try this line on that rod and vice versa. I have 6wt lines I like on b2x 8wt (cause it’s super soft). Fun stuff for sure

Ha! That might explain why I eventually sold my b2x after failing to match a line to it for 10 years! I really wanted to like that rod.

That’s funny - I think I’m the only one out of my crew that likes that rod too. The first gen of SA textured lines mpx is a good one. So is the rio smallmouth but I like the mpx better.

I got that rod for a steal, the guy I got it from didn’t like it either, but he liked super fast rods (no idea why he bought it in the first place)
