This chart is to be used to convert the old designations
into the newer AFTMA numbers most are familiar with. This chart is
simply a starting point, you'll probably need to cast your silk fly line
to determine which line will work best with your rod. As with most
things, variances in the construction by different line makers, finish,
age, etc. will cause a diference in how the silk fly line will perform.
This chart was listed on the RM List awhile back. Hope
this helps, Enjoy!
