Default Sh**e!!

Got two lines of the same brand, one 5wt and one a 6wt. Only problem is I have forgot which one is which as they are both on reels now. Silly question but I have to ask to make sure, but there is no way I will ever know now is there?

a simple seasaw would let you know but if you cast both I'm sure you could tell any way.

why not just look at them, 6 belly should be thicker and often longer than a 5.
