Lightest Rod possible

Re: Lightest Rod possible
Fuji parts doesnt fir on Alps seats, so it's quite difficult to hide those.
Re: Lightest Rod possible
Are you using graphite arbors under the reel seat to save weight, or is it directly glued to the blank?
Re: Lightest Rod possible
It depends what reelseat im using. Alps have many id sizes. Some are just 15mm id so need to use arbors.hb904460 wrote:Are you using graphite arbors under the reel seat to save weight, or is it directly glued to the blank?

I used pac bay arbor and sk threaded front cut down as short as I could, used 7 pieces of cork for the handle and butt because it was lighter than the carbon fiber. Ground down the ecsm reelseat as much as I could and used Fuji ti sics as 5, 4.5, and 3.5 runners. It was a hassle but my nfc delta 703 came out 2 oz on the nose.
