8wt fly line on 6wt rod?

(1/3) > >>

Hello

is it ok to overlined 2 size? 

I have a sage vantage 6wt rod and a 8wt fly line.

Thanks

typhoon:
That rod isn't overly powerful so an 8wt line will be too much if you want to carry much line.
If you are casting 30 feet or less then it should still cast okay, but if you want to cast 60+ feet you will find very poor performance or you could potentially break the rod.

nicecoho:
Do you know the grain weight for scientific angler super 8wt sink tip line?

and thank you for the info

nicecoho:
I mean supra 8wt sink tip

typhoon:
no
