This is for all the "weight weenies" out there.I know balance is good but my nrx & lews lites feels so much better than my dobyns dx I USE to have.my lightest is nrx 852c(3.7oz) with a lews tournament lite(5.7oz),for a total of 9.4,awesome n hand.I expect the most popular brand is going to be nrx/cores

If I go with a MH rig it is a Quantum Smoke 7'0" MH-F with the Smoke 100 reel it comes in officially at 9.9oz on my postal scale. That would be the lowest of my 7' rods but when I put my Christmas present, a Team Lews Lite on my 6'6" ML-M Fenwick Aetos it should come in at 8.9oz if the weight stated on TW is accurate.
