I would not overload the rod by that much. Rods are truly rated for the line they call for. You should practice your casting overloading the rod is not going to correct your casting stroke. Work on your stroke.
overloading the rod- how many sizes up do you go?
have an 8wt, 9'- using a 9wt forward,
intermediate line. someone suggested i go up to a 10wt line. still a newbie and don't have my double haul timing
(read line speed) down pat but the
9wt line casts a helluva lot better than the 8wt line that i originally bought wth the rod. the person who suggested the 10wt thought it would improve my casting. only real way to tell is to put it on my rod and test it out. any thoughts and or suggestions?
