stanster;n603026 said:Thanks, guys. It sounds like a bad idea, which I kind of figured. It never hurts to ask though. The rod is actually a cool looking rod and it feels good, so I think it will be fun to give it a try. Of course, I need a 7 weight rod like I need another hole in my head, so I think I'll try it with a 6 weight line, instead.
Thanks much for the good advice.

Do you have any spare spools of your 8 weight? I would try that instead. Over lining one weight would be preferable; I even know some people that do that intentionally.
In fact, I did that with my single-hand 5 weight, putting a 6 weight on it...helps with 'off the water' roll/spey type casting with that rod.
