So what's a newbie supposed to do?
I bought a scott sts 9wgt 9' 3pc. and had a lesson with it. When I went to buy line, I told the orvis store I was looking for line for my new 9. I boght orvis depth chage in 9/300 grain and 9 wgt clear intermediate. Cant feel the intermediate load. Will try to throw the depth change this spring. This year boght a TFO 10' 4pc 6wgt to use for trout and bass, and in the salt estruaries. For that rod, the advice was line up 1, so I got a 7wgt floater and intermediate.
It a shame there is no way to set up with a line and be sure of the performance. I cannot afford to by lines until I ht on the rght one.
