Don't have a 'true answer' for you on that one, but apparently (seen several references) RIO is making the sage spey lines. I know the 5/6 WC was one of the orig. lines developed for the 5wt and Bob Meisers 'switch rod.' Suspect they'd be fairly similar with an over all length of 105 feet.

Anyway, google the WC lines and check the 5/6 WC, suspect you'll be within very few grains of the correct number.

well i got a email from sage today, 300 grains at 30' 400 grains at40'and 500grains at 50' thought i would pass this on for other viewers by others.

Thanks Bill.

For future ref here's RIO's line recommendations for just about any rod made 'world-wide.'
