Drop them a line Graeme, I’m sure it will get sorted.

Have you measured the taper? If they’ve sent the right line, then the tip is too long.Graeme H wrote:I got mine this week. I've only weighed one end, but the end I have weighed is a 5wt at 145gn. It's meant to be a DT6.

Yeah I'm not very confident, but standing on a lawn, throw that line around makes me feel better about myself... I mean it's basically on par with freeclimbing, apnea diving or mastering quantum physics. And one day I'll show them all, become a throw-a-line-around examiner and weigh the lines of candidats to make sure they use proper 7wts!
