Post by: BwiBwi on November 10, 2005, 07:23:09 PM

How heavy of a line test can a Sage 6 WT take?

Thank you

You can go up to a 15lb test but that is pushing the limit. Be carefully how far you bend that rod.

Oh good. I was using 12 lb and really worried I might have pushed it too far.
But then haven't caught a good size fish on it yet so.... What am I worring about. ;D ;D

Hoping that will change soon. Not catching coho is bad enough, hopefully I'll get a decent
size salmon on the fly. Even chum I would be happy. :D
