Anyone have weight on a Phenix Maxim 6'10 ML? Or any casting rod in the Maxim series?

13 Fishing Omen Black 2 casting
7'6" MH/F
165.25grams
5.829oz

Given the weight of the rod feel the balance could be a little better than it is.

So I ended up with both Zodias 610 ML and Maxim 610 ML.

Shimano Zodias 6'10 ML casting: 3.87oz
Phenix Maxim 6'10 casting: 3.87oz

Exactly the same weight, but the Zodias is more tip heavy. Phenix Maxim is balancing out right at the nut with a 7oz reel, Zodias about 1.5" forward.

I'm a firm believer on adding weight to balance out rods. For instance, my Lamiglas TFX610C is 5.55oz, but feels MUCH lighter in hand while fishing bottom contact baits. That balance point is right in the middle of the reel, and your hand is the pivot.

Some more random weights:

Shimano Zodias 6'8 spinning Light: 3.41oz

Shimano Crucial (1st gen) 6'8 dropshot spinning: 3.48oz

Shimano Crucial (1st gen) 7'2 dropshot spinning: 3.83oz

Shimano Trevala S 6' ML Casting: 5.27 oz

Steez AGS 7'1" MH - 4.3oz (super balanced)
Steez Fle X Lite 7' M -4.4oz
Zillion 8' Glass Crank Rod - 7.3oz (balanced, seems lighter)

St Croix Legend Xtreme 7' MF- 4.5oz

G Loomis NRX 852c - 3.7oz

Anyone weigh a 6'10 ml Poison Adrena?

just received the new g.loomis IMX reaction 812C SBR: 4.3 ounces

that's some quality control right there.

X7 Simoom - 4.43oz
X7 Cyclone Advantage - 4.19oz
X7 Western Flip - 4.7oz
X7 Extreme Mission - 4.72oz
X7 Aaron Martens - 4.97oz
Phase 3 Nautilus - 4.61oz
Phase 3 Record Breaker - 5.12oz

Does anyone know the weight of the Daiwa Tatula 6'10MH casting rod?

Thanks in advance!

• g.loomis NRX 822S DSR blue: 3.6 ounces
• g.loomis NRX 823S SYR blue: 3.8 ounces
• g.loomis NRX 822S SYR green: 3.6 ounces

my green NRX 822S SYR is slightly heavier than the two blues ones that were reported in this thread. i'm not sure if that's due to: 1) rod variability, 2) scale variability, 3) the switch from 3M powerlux resin to another different resin, or 4) the green paint and glossy clearcoat that the blue NRXs do not have. i dunno...maybe a combination of them all.

Anyone have a weight on the MEGABASS 2015 HEDGEHOG EVOLUTION - F4ST-69RSDTI ?

My green NRX SYR 822S weighs 3.35oz. And yes, I have cross checked the accuracy of the scale using a known weight.

Man that's a pretty big discrepancy in weight

bassmar, thank you very much the info...it was exactly what i was hoping for. i have two scales, both checked for accuracy, that i use to double-check my weights. i'm more convinced than ever that the alternate resin loomis now uses in their NRX blanks is heavier since all my NRXs are newer and are post-3M powerlux. regardless, i am totally digging my NRXs
