Hi all,
Not mentioning any brands but when it comes to deciding on a rod these days is it better to go off the test curves or the line/casting weight the rod has been spec'd with?
I have a 1.25 rod that's been given a line rating of 6-12lb and a max casting weight of 3oz, now this is the same rating as my current low priced 1.75 Barbel rod and seems very heavily spec'd for a 1.25 rod?
Same as another 1.5 rod I've seen, line rating 6-12lb with a max casting weight of 4oz.
What is more believable, test curves or line and casting weights?
