In this video, Tom Rosenbauer explains the importance of choosing the right line weight for your fly rod. Line weight is crucial as it determines the flexibility of the rod and the ability to cast effectively. Using a line that is too light or too heavy can affect the rod's performance. Rosenbauer demonstrates the impact of different line weights on a four weight rod, showing how overlining can slow down the rod while underlining requires more effort to cast. He advises sticking to the manufacturer's recommended line weight but mentions that overlining by one size might be acceptable. Overall, understanding line weight is essential for achieving accurate and efficient fly fishing techniques. #flyline #lineweight #flyfishing #overlining #underlining
