        <![CDATA[ I have a Jenkins 7&#39;9&quot; rod which is rated for a 4 or 5 Wt.  Does anyone have a suggestion for a modern line that weighs somewhere between a 4 wt and a
5 wt?  I&#39;m thinking I probably want a &quot;light 5 wt&quot; since I will be casting mostly short to medium distances.  What fills that niche?  Thanks. ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thank you for all the suggestions.  There&#39;s a lot of good advice here, especially the comments about not trying to go crazy with line weights between 4 and
5.  I&#39;m afraid I am guilty as charged on that one.  I have to constantly remind myself to keep this wonderful pastime &quot;simple.&quot; ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not rocket science and you don&#39;t need to go looking for 1/2 wt lines. Try a 4wt and then try a 5wt.  Which ever feels right to you is the line to go with. 
Rod makers don&#39;t make rods in 1/2 wt increments - anglers make rods into 1/2 wt increment rods.

			<description><![CDATA[ i struggled with an older rod to find the right line. didn&#39;t know the reccommended line weight but a 4 seemed too light and a 5 too heavy. i found the
right match in a rio gold 4 wt. which i&#39;m told is a heavier line. worked for me anyway. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Concur with the opinions to go with the 5 IF you&#39;re going to be fishing within 30&#39; or so. If your casts are farther than that consistantly, try the
Sylk DT5 or the TT4, both of which are, IMO, as has been stated, a 4 1/2wt.

			<description><![CDATA[ I haven&#39;t cast that particular rod, but every 4/5 wt. rod I&#39;ve cast has always felt better with a 5 in my hands.  I fish smaller streams so the extra
weight helps with short cast.  I have cast the 70L which is Steve&#39;s 3/4 and I liked it with a 4.  I also fish a Wagner 4/5 and like it best with a 5. 
Purely subjective, I know, but if I see a rod with 2 line designations I always go for the heaviest.

			<description><![CDATA[ I fish mostly Terenzio lines.  He makes half weights as well as full.   He will make you a 4 1/2 DT  that will curl your toes.    His even come with loops
woven into the ends like some of the old Kingfisher&#39;s.   Top notch lines that cast like a dream.  Phoenix is also a superb line but I don&#39;t think they
make half weights.    I think the herndon&#39;s are his only us distributer. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree completely with Oldfishbrain.  If you are going to be casting short &amp; medium distances, you want a heavier line to load your rod adequately.

			<description><![CDATA[ The old A/B rating on the Wulff TT was A is rating for first 30 feet, B is rating for the full head length. To the OP, I personally wouldn&#39;t try to find a
&quot;half weight&quot; line. Try a DT in both a 4 and a 5, see which one feels better at the distance you will be fishing the rod, start with a 5. Then pull
off the maximum amount you think you may want to cast with the rod, say 50 feet, lay it out in front of you, then lift it into a backcast. You are looking to
see if the rod feels... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ You might try a Cortland Sylk... many members here consider their lines a 1/2 wt lighter than rated (e. g. their 5 wt. is closer to a 4 1/2 wt.) at least in
performance. I personally have never weighed the first 30&#39; but they do seem to load the rod somewhat less than many other lines. I do like the presentation
the Sylk provides.

			<description><![CDATA[ The Rio Grande lines are marketed as being a half-weight heavy, so a labelled 4 is supposed to be a 4-1/2.  I&#39;ve bought one of them and found that to be
true.
<br>
<br>
The old Wulff Triangle tapers were originally sold as, say, 4/5 weight, appropriate for both.  IIRC, they now just call the same line a 4wt.

<br>
Those are the 2 that come to mind.
