I was just looking for CCS data for the TFO 1 wt and I came across an entry in the Sexyloops database for a TXL 00 wt: ERN=1.60, AA=68. I also found another builder whose TXL 0 wt had an ERN of 2.0.
So all you TXL ought weight owners, do you think Sage is pulling a fast one on us and incorrectly labeling 1 and 2 wt rods? And are we all flailing around with underlined rods when we could be much happier fishing heavier lines on these rods? :-)
I think you all know what I think so let's hear from you other TXL owners.
I like CCS and I think that even in this case it's correct, at least about ERN.
I have a Sage 3/0 line, that for me is a 000, and I weighed the first 30 feet and for me it weighs 61 grains, which corresponds to an AFFTA 1wt line. Then your ERN 1,60 is absolutely correct.
And I sincerly hope that everybody use the CCS and every AFFTA and other productors put on their rods and blank CCS ERN and AA: they would give much more objective data to understand the type of rod.
And I hope that even here CCS is used more even here.
This is my line
p.s.
I don't know about 0, but I have even a Sage QDT line #1 and it weighs 77 grains who is not an AFFTA 1wt but a 2wt.
