I played around with another they had that was even lighter. The whole rod ready to mount a reel and fish was 2 and change ounces. Originally Posted by lakeforkfisherman I can backlash toilet paper.

They are pretty light. The older I get the lighter I want my setup, helps my shoulder by the end of the day. Jody Tyler Bass Club LIKE the TFF on Facebook - www.facebook.com/texasfishingforum
