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,

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

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.
