Yeah you want the line wt to match the rod wt. You can get by sometimes going up or down 1 wt . If you try casting a 9 wt line with a 6wt rod you will have problems. The rod will not load correctly...The rod would most likely not be stiff enough to push the line. Also you want the reel to hold enough backing.....So lets say you pull the 6wt line of your reel and put a 9 wt line on..You would have to pull off almost all of you backing to get the 9wt line to even fit on the reel.
