[QUOTE="FishyItch, post: 181200, member: 4387"] Rods have recommended line weight to be used with the rod. Many have recommended lure weight as well. How much to these actually mean? Should they be followed absolutely or are they more like loose guidelines? For example, if a rod says "8-12 lb test" how bad is it to go outside that range? What if you're using braided line? Or if the rod says "3/8 to 1 oz." What happens if you put a 1 1/2 oz lure on there? I want to get just one nice combo this spring so I'm trying to learn everything I can to get something somewhat all-purpose. Any thoughts or anecdotes about going wide of the recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks you guys! [/QUOTE]
