Light tip 1-.073 5-.087 10-.107 15-.123 20-.138 25-.157 30-.170 35-.190 40-.208 45-.225 50-.24 This is a love it or hate it rod. I like the light tip better with a 6 and the heavy with an 8. I am not in the love it camp. David H. Ray David Maxie change that turned this rod into a great 6 wt. 0-.062 5-.078 10-.098 15-.116 20-.132 25-.150 30-.168 35-.188 40-.206 35-.224 50-.240
