Recently, I penned a piece for Thomas & Thomas fly rods in regards to the Exocett SS series of fly rods that I had the pleasure of working on with rod designer Joe Goodspeed. In that particular piece, I broke down grain weights in a more simplified manner as I am very aware that many of us, including myself, find deciphering them to be rather confusing at times. I like many of you prefer to keep things rather simple in most of my endeavors both off and on the water, and made an attempt at doing the same in hopes of assisting many of you in choosing the right fly line(s) for you once you take the plunge and purchase said rod. So, if grain weights got you crazy, read the link below and hopefully you will have a better understanding of them, and hopefully make the right choice when pairing up lines for your new rod. Enjoy.
