QuestionI have a actionglas fly rod model 1586, Orchard Industries, Detroit Michigan - 8'-6". Could you tell me the wt of line recommended for this rod. The decal is smudged so I do not know the size of this rod.
AnswerHi Matt,
I would try a 7wt and an 8wt line on the rod to see which performs best. I don't have anything that tells me exactly what the line rating is for the rod, but I would expect it to be one of these two. If you don't have access to multiple lines to try several, get the 8wt.
Thanks, Joe
