The Wiki list the 8383 as a #6 line and every 7 1/2' #8383 I see has a six line designation. Was mine simply mislabeled when it went for inscription or were the #8383's made in both 5 and 6 weight?

It has seemed to me that the brown glass were a bit lighter than the yellow glass. I could imagine a brown glass #8383 as a five weight. My yellow #8383 is a great six weight. http://www.TheFiberglassManifesto.com/

Maybe the yellow ones are all six weights and the browns are fives? The grip on mine is only 5 3/4" long which would seem in keeping with a lighter line designation. They are gorgeous rods IMO and I especially like that beautiful hand done script. Last Edited By: Duff 12/18/08 15:04:55. Edited 1 times.
