True Temper Aristocrat Fly Rod

Looking for info on this Rod True Temper Aristocrat Fiberglass 8'
What wt. line is recommended for this rod

 

[PennKev]

6 or 7wt would probably be a good starting point if you can't find any further info. It's from an era when heavier line weight rods where the norm.

It's listed as a using HDH, or HCH, meaning 6 or 7 wt. I'd try it with a double taper, lots of these old glass rods cast nicer with a DT line instead of a WF.
Try a few different lines on it and fish the one that feels best to you.

I fished the rod today with a 6wt DT. Fished great a little slower than what I am used to but fun to fish
Thanks again kev and biker
