Thanks guys. I know what you mean when you talk about applying pressure to stop or handle a fish. Its like when I use my SCOTT 4# for larger trout, very little authority. Stepping up to my 5# SAGE gives so much more. But then to my 6# GL4 and it almost feels too heavy.
Sounds like the 10# weight would be the better fish handler WITH the 9# giving a little less authority but easier to use all day long.
Mmmmmmm?
