1. The weight should be a series of numbers on the shaft. DT- 6F(double taper 6 floating) or WF 6F( weight forward 6 floating) This designates the weight of the fly line and the design type the rod was intended for. Not all fly reels have adjustable drags since the fish is played from the off hand not from the reel.
