Don't have an exact weight, but my Power Tackle LPC 470 and Curado 70 weigh next to nothing.

This was an interesting question. I have a medium-light bait cast setup that I use on Bastrop. Lew's reel and a Castaway rod. Although the rod is a real buggy whip, the handle is somewhat heavy. Rod, reel, line and a 1/4 ounce bait comes up to about 13 ounces.
Be safe, Rayzor ![[Linked Image]](http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp267/JLedbetter/th_Boatpics036.jpg) 2001 Triton Tx-21/225 Mercury EFI

My favorite is a Kistler Helium 3 matched up with a Lews Hypermag.

Anybody who has enough time to calculate how much their lightest combo weighs has too much time on their hands IMO  It's called Covid 19. lol

It depends on how big a breakfast I had, and if I hit the head before stepping on the boat....

Sarge Customs "The Priest": 2.6oz
13 Fishing Concept TX: 5.8oz
Total combo: 7.8oz... Feather light!
Oh yeah, and by the way.. On these inshore saltwater rods, the big names COMPETE for the lightest rod.. It's a pretty deal with a trout/redfish rod, not a "waste of time." When people are handing you $400 a rod then y'all can talk about who needs to find something else to do
Sarge made one that was 2.1oz... I think he's got everyone beat right now.
