Knowing which end of a fly line is the front and the rear is important for almost all fly lines. If the line is accidentally reversed, it will definitely not cast properly. In recent times, companies have gone out of their way to eliminate this problem by clearly marking the front of the fly line with its identification (line wt. or grain wt.). While packaged, most include a sticker that reminds you to, "attach this end to backing". However, not all companies do this but there is an easy trick to figure out which end of the fly line is the "weight forward" section that is so important to the lines overall performance. Fly lines are tapered and feature a tip, front taper, belly, rear taper, and finally a running line. In order to tell the difference, one simply needs to examine the first fifteen feet of either end. The front end will thicken quickly and be heavier than the rear end which is thinner and weighs less. This thicker front end is what gives the line its name: weight forward.

How is a plumb bob used to check the vertical of a building under construction?
A plumb bob is a weight on the end of a string. It usually has a pointed lower end. It is hung adjacent to or in line with building elements to check whether they are "plumb" or "true to the vertical". A weight on a string holds the string under tension in a straight line down to the ground because of gravity. A person can move so they can see whether the straight line of the string lines up against the built element, to tell whether it is vertical.
