just got a Shimano Cumara, 7'11" MH Crankbait rod. Unbelieveable 5.13 oz. That's much much lighter than many 7' - 7'5" crankbait rods I also looked at.

i know there's some variability in weights even between the same exact models due to materials and the made-by-hand nature of rods...plus, scales are different too. anyway, the g.loomis NRX 893C has been previously reported at 111g (3.9 ounces) and 115g (4.0 ounces) but the owners did not state whether they were the blue or the green NRXs. my new NRX 893C blue comes in at 108g (3.8 ounces) on two different scales (both of which i've tested for accuracy). so, i'm kind of guessing that the heavier NRX 893Cs are the green ones which i think would weigh more because of the full-length glossy finish rather than the plain, sanded finish?

[quote="skeletor6"][quote="lpquick"]Here’s some more:
NRX Casting
873 - 4.2 oz. or 119g
893 - 3.9 oz. or 111g
853 - 4.0 oz. or 113g
That is crazy that the 893 weighs less than the 853!

Mine doesn't..FYI..

My 853 is 3.8oz. and my 893 is 4.0oz.--7 grams difference between my two
