If you look at the old Powell rods you will see that Walton habitually marked them all with three consecutive line weights. Line weight for a given rod is not carved in stone. Crazy as it sounds, Wright & McGill used to sell a cheap 7.5-foot 6-wt yellow colored glass rod through Kmart for about 20/25-bucks that was a great little caster. You probably can still find them on eBay. Put on some Cortland 333 and any ol real you get your hands on and you are "off to the races!"
