Just weighed my Megabass EMTF:

5.90 ounces, with a tip weight of .55 ounces.

Compared to my DX 744C:

5.45 ounces, with a tip weight of .50 ounces.

(My scale only measures in increments of .05 ounces. I measure tip weight by balancing the rod directly against the front of the trigger, about an inch higher than the scale surface. My best balanced casting rod is a gen 1 Cumara 68M, with a TW of .35 ounces.)

KLX Texas/Carolina Rig Worm Jig Medium-Heavy 7'
KLXTCRWJ70MH 4.0oz

Balances right in front of the hook keeper with Steex, right at the hook keeper with a TD-Z. Little farther forward than I would have expected, but not terrible. will probably add some suspend strips or something. I've read a Zillion balances right at the front of the lockdown hood.
