My rod is rated for 390-480 grains. (echo 3 6127)

I use a Rio skagit max 450 grain head. Then I add a MOW Light 5/5 float/sink tip.

Figuring 8 grains/ft., this tip adds 40 grains for the sinking portion and I have no clue how much for the floater portion.

So- at this point I am over the rod rating. I KNOW, its not that big a deal, and it really comes down to casting, if I can cast it and it feels good then run with it. And it does cast well.

I just got a set of iMOW tips, and I see these are adding 55 grains for the 5/5, and around 82-ish for the 2.5/7.5 I'm up to 530 or so grains.

From the Rio site, then I need to get a larger head now, so... I'm wondering if I can even run these tips on this rod.

Anyone else go down this rabbit hole besides me?

That's just for RIO. Was looking at OPST commando and its another language altogether.
