Dave, let's take the example of the line you're contemplating buying.
it weighs 10g more than the one you tested.
Thanks again for your wisdom Marc. The line that I was contemplating buying is actually 10g lighter it's a 30g and there is also a 36g option as well. I think I will take your advise and stick with the 40g for now and have some fun with my new rod. We have narrowed the line options down to between 30 and 36g, but as I'm a shite spey caster, the 40 is easier!
Cheers again
Dave
