JenkinsGA70L

Discuss various makers rods here, i.e. if the maker is not listed under its own forum please feel free to discuss them here vintage or current. I would like to keep the makers listed by an individual read-only forum so it will be easier for those interested in those makers to find specific information about the rods and the makers. If anyone has any original catalogs they could scan and pass along to me I would be pleased to use them to give a history of the maker and their models in a forum, thanks.

I have recently taken possession of a Jenkins GA70L, what would be the recommended line weight for the rod. Any help would be appreciated.

I used a 4 on mine. It seemed fine. I don’t recall if it was a DT or WF.

Dwight is right to suggest a 4wt as a possibility. That said it is often characterized as a 3wt. I recommend trying several brands and models of lines in these weights until you find one you really like. It really can make a big difference.
