Another post asked about line wt and lenght for dickerson tapers .
8014 for example would be an 8ft 0 inch with a # 14/64 s ferrule. 8614 would
be 8ft 6inch rod with a 14/64 s ferrule ect.
As for line wt l use the rule of thumb based on the ferrule size . a rod with
a 13/64 ferrule is a 4-5 wt 14/64 s 6-7 wt 15/64 s 7-8 wt . most of the time
this has not filed me but there are exceptions to every rule . the 8014 l
feel casts a dt # 6 just great ,it's a fast strong rod . Anyway this method
has worked for me when l size up a taper that is new to me
good luck
