Hey thanks definitely made it straight forward.. I live in New Zealand and I want to get into saltwater fly.. I love light weight softbaiting and I think this would be a nice way to hunt in the shallows for snapper kahawai kingfish and trevelly and the like..

I have 5 rodes and none of then have these weight numbers on them, where did you find rods that have all this info on them?

[@joannehandley7702]

Good video I.m new to this and I bought a cheap set up could you please tell me what dt5/6f mean please

[@farlows]

Hi there, welcome to the world of fly fishing! The letters and numbers you refer to relate to the spec of the fly line. 'DT' means double-taper which is the profile, or shape, of the fly line. Different line tapers are designed for different fishing situations and styles of casting. '5/6F' refers to the line rating, or 'weight' and the properties of the line, so in this case the line would be designed for a 5-6wt fly rod and the 'F' means it's a floating line. A WF7I for example would relate to a weight-forward 7-weight intermediate fly line. We hope this helps!
