Hi Dogtanian
Firstly, thanks for reading the thread and taking the time to write something.
In my experience with the CCS, the faster a rods action (higher the AA) the further away from the AFTMA number you find the ERN. For example the med/fast model's ERN is closer to 6 and when eventually the slower action rod is developed then that's ERN is likely to be closer to the 5.5 figure that is often touted as being correct.
Obviously the CCS isn't the last word and far from perfect but it does give us some sort of starting point.
I did think long and hard about whether I should put those figures on my post as it kind of puts me up there to be shot down. In the end I decided to go with them as that's what they are. I'm sure that others will look at that ERN and come to the same conclusion, however all I can say is that it cast's a 5wt line beautifully, albeit you need enough line out to load it and cast it correctly and will of course handle a line heavier as with all fast action rods. The action won't suit everyone, but then I wouldn't expect it to which is why we develope different flex curves.
I hope that helps.
