Thanks Plunker.. Who's Bob Batson?

After thinking about what I orginally posted about what my friend told me with Loomis and the 1141 way-back-when, I'm assuming I misheard the "10 wt" part for "10 foot 8 wt." or something along those lines. Doesn't make sense that an ultra-light spin rod came orginally from a 10 wt. since a 10 is heavier than a 9 wt., especially with the graph you provided. Again, much appreciated Plunker.
