The AFTM-system

Hi GFF readers.

I need some help regarding fly-line weight and the AFTM-system.

After a 20-year pause I'm taking up fly-fishing again. One of my problems is that i have forgotten the AFTM-rating on my old lines. On this website I found this statement: 'The AFTM-system used to describe weights of fly lines, specifies the weight of the front 30 feet of line'. But how much weight are we talking about?

I would like to classify my lines. Any help is appreciated.
