That is crazy that the 893 weighs less than the 853!

Thanks for the weights and to everyone in this thread. Its an excellent Idea and I wish more manufacturers would supply such information.

I was just wondering if anyone could find the weights on a couple rods for me. I have searched through the thread and have not found them.

1.) NRX 803c
2.) Cumulus 7'1'' MHXF

Thanks and I appreciate everyone's contribution! Just wondering what you guys are weighing these rods with as I would like to weigh all of mine out so I can also contribute.

When they use to be up on their website, Shimano listed the Cumulus CMLCX71MH as 3.5 oz. But the one that I have weighs 104.4 grams or 3.68 oz. Close enough I guess.

Does anyone have weights for the NRX 802S and 803S spinning rods?

I love this thread, every time I see a rod I'm interested in I come here for the weight. Saves a lot of time. Thanks to all of you that have spent for time accumulating this information.

Rod weight, not so much of a factor if the rod is well balanced.
