    Honestly, the difference between a 5 or a 6 weight (or between an 8 or a 9) nowadays is actually less than the difference between a “5 weight” made by some manufacturers and a “5 weight” made by others.

    I agrre with this statement but i have noticed that from rod company to rod company rod weight are very diferent.

    I use to fish a #8 9.9 loomis GL3 and tried a Gatti Fr 3pa 10 ft #7 and the difference was very noticable in the weight and casting that I put that rod to rest (GL3).

    Hello

    this is my first post

    I also got hooked on a odd weight rod, here on the east coast the 8 weight is vary popular with atlantic salmon and was my favorite rod weight for a long time. I finally tried a hand on a 10 ft #7 progressive action fly rod about 4 years ago since then my 9 footh foot 8 weight has been gathering dust in the rod closet. I just find the 7 lighter and I get the same distance and line control that the #8 provided me
