As we are frequently asked by anglers but also by retailers how rodactions stated in lbs can be converted into a casting weight in gram, weare now finally going to explain this convertion in detail.RConvertion from lbs. test curves into casting weights in gramTest Curvein lbsConvertion:lbs x 1 OunceIdeal Castingweight in gEffective casting weightrange in gRecommanded line diametermonofilament / braided1,50 lbs. 1,50 x 28,4 g = 42,6 g ca. 35 – 50 g 0,20 – 0,22 mm / 0,10 – 0,12 mm1,75 lbs. 1,75 x 28,4 g = 49,7 g ca. 40 – 60 g 0,20 – 0,25 mm / 0,10 – 0,14 mm2,00 lbs. 2,00 x 28,4 g = 56,8 g ca. 45 – 65 g 0,22 – 0,25 mm / 0,12 – 0,14 mm2,25 lbs. 2,25 x 28,4 g = 63,9 g ca. 55 – 75 g 0,25 – 0,28 mm / 0,14 – 0,16 mm2,50 lbs. 2,50 x 28,4 g = 71,0 g ca. 60 – 80 g 0,28 – 0,30 mm / 0,16 – 0,18 mm2,75 lbs. 2,75 x 28,4 g = 78,1 g ca. 70 – 90 g 0,28 – 0,32 mm / 0,18 – 0,20 mm3,00 lbs. 3,00 x 28,4 g = 85,2 g ca. 75 – 95 g 0,30 – 0,35 mm / 0,20 – 0,22 mm3,25 lbs. 3,25 x 28,4 g = 92,3 g ca. 85 – 105 g 0,32 – 0,38 mm / 0,22 – 0,25 mm3,50 lbs. 3,50 x 28,4 g = 99,4 g ca. 90 – 120 g 0,35 – 0,40 mm / 0,25 – 0,28 mm4,00 lbs. 4,00 x 28,4 g = 113,6 g ca. 100 – 130 g 0,38 – 0,45 mm / 0,28 – 0,30 mm5,00 lbs. 5,00 x 28,4 g = 142,0 g ca. 120 – 160 g 0,40 – 0,50 mm / 0,30 – 0,40 mm6,00 lbs. 6,00 x 28,4 g = 170,4 g ca. 150 – 200 g 0,50 – 0,60 mm / 0,40 – 0,50 mmThe test curve is set up by horizontally fixing the handle section and then weighting the tip of the rod until it bents down in a 90 degrees angle.The statement of the accordingly necessary weight thereby traditionally is made in English pounds, shortend lbs, which is equal to 454,4 g andwhich consists of 16 ounces of 28,4 g each. The transformation from the lbs test curve to the ideal casting weight in gram is made by multiplyingthe test curve by the weight of 1 ounce = 28,4 g. The effective casting weight range at lighter rods is then settled at approx. +/- 10 % of the idealcasting weight and at heavier rods it then ranges up to approx. +/- 15 %.- Up to a test curve of 3,50 lbsusually only monofilament lines areused.- <strong>Rods</strong> from 4,00 – 5,00 lbs are thenalso frequently used as spod rodsfor precisely casting heavy feederbaskets and rockets. Due to theseheavy loads sometimes taperedsurf lines or braided lines arebeing used. Braided lines are alsofrequently used for predator fishingwith such rods.- From 6,00 lbs on such rods areexclusively used as catfish rodswith a standard of braided lines.Attention: This way of transferringa lbs test curve into a gram castingweight is only suitable for freshwaterrods!180160140120100806040200Diagram of the ideal casting weight per test curve1,50 lbs 1,75 lbs 2,00 lbs 2,25 lbs 2,50 lbs 2,75 lbs 3,00 lbs 3,25 lbs 3,50 lbs 4,00 lbs 5,00 lbs 6,00 lbsSea fishing rodsThe statement of lbs. at sea fishing rods refers to the recommended breaking strength ofthe line which is regulated by the IGFA classes (International Game Fishing Association) inorder to achieve equal conditions for catching officially acknowledged record fish. Thereforethese lbs. statements doesn't have anything to do with a casting weight in gram. Anyhow,also here there does exist a little trick to roughly find out about the according casting weightof such rods. Just add a zero to the lbs. statement and immediately you have the approx.casting weight for the rod.Line Class Approx. Casting Weight12 lbs 120 g20 lbs 200 g30 lbs 300 g50 lbs 500 g
