You cant tell what weight your line is unless you bought it but usually you match weight with reel/rod

Pulled this off another forum -- "The line weight that is usually put on the fly line package is determined by the grain weight of the first 30 feet of line. This is the industry "standard" way of determining line weight. Now, per the standard 6wt 160 grain 7wt 185 grain 8wt 210 grain 9wt 240 grain One gram is approx 15.5 grains, so you be using your scale in the range of 10 to 15 grams. Hopefully it is accurate to about 1/2 gram."
