Heddon 8 1 3/4 HDH or E silk line


Question
I just bought a minty Heddon #14 Thorobred 8' 3 piece 1 3/4 ferrule. I want to go silk and fish this rod. Does the HDH or E make this a DT5.5 silk or DT6..There are some silk lines avalible in half sizes. I have fished #6 model20 8 1'2" before and it called for a straight #6, with 2ferrule...Should I go with a #6 silk or 5.5

Thanks

Answer
Neil,
Lines aren't very meaningful to me . I have fished silk but prefer modern lines. But I am a 'rod' guy .

I am doubting most casters could not feel a difference between silk , DT5.5 and DT6.

I think the answer is; depends on how far you want to cast and if you are throwing light or heavy flies. If you are a dry fly size 20 kind of fisherman, go with 5.5

Luck ,
