7. Fly fishing tackle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_fishing_tackle

   This indicates the rod is designed for either a 7 or 8 weight fly line. There are also some rods rated for wider ranges (e.g. 8-9-10wt). The drawback to multi-rated rods is that compromises in flexibility or action are made in order to accommodate a wider range of line weights. For example, a rod rated for 8-9 weight line will be slightly ...
