Just in case anyone doesn't know and needs to find a rods weight, st. Croix lists the weight of all their rods on their site.

Just picked up a Kistler Helium3 in trade, 7'4" MH XF weighs in at 4.1oz. Feels a little tip heavy but clean built rod with a very straight blank.

have not fished it yet but this one is definitely not as stout-feeling as the first-gen zillions...the tip is softer as well.
