Still waiting for spring to show so yesterday I decided to check a 10wt I bought awhile back and see what it indicates for The Big Picture. I used my spotting scope tripod and a benchrest tripod, a short level with the AA card taped on it, and the wifes hardwood kitchen floor. I made a jig like the illustration and kept everything level and the data seems like - if I can get the terminology right - the upper section will load a 10wt line and it has a really strong butt section". If I am incorrect, please tell me what I do have, thanks.
