I have been thinking a bit about rods and line weights. I've got a Scott F703/3 black blank rod (factory build) and while it is rated a 3, I am thinking I
actually prefer it with a DT-4 line. I use the Cortland Peach lines. This got me wondering, would the 7 1/2 foot 4-weight Scott F-series rod actually be a
5-weight?? And, what about the lighter line weights in the Scott F series? Do you guys have any experience with these rods and what is your opinion. I'd
be interested to know what you think about their action in general and the line weights you use on them. Where would you rank the Scott F-series in terms of
you favorite rod action? Anybody have any experience with the 1 or 2 weight F-series rods? Just looking to open a bit of a dialog here.

, I enjoyed fishing it with both DT3 Sylk and DT 4 Rio Selective. I handles either well.
I tried the 5 on the 703/3, it works as long as you are
fishing inside of 35', at least with my casting stroke. I liked it, the rod loaded up real nice close in. It wasn't too much line for the rod,
I'll probably stick with the 4 DT for close up work though.
