- 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
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

Re: Rod Weights
the move away from the 3M powerlux resin was announced in september 2013 and probably took awhile for the existing blanks to be used up.Bassmar wrote:Not sure when the change to 3M took place but I purchased my rod in August 2013.
Re: Rod Weights
All of the Poison Adrena weights are listed on the Shimano Japan site, and I've found them to be very accurate. The 1610ML is listed at 115 grams.Mothercanucker wrote:Anyone weigh a 6'10 ml Poison Adrena?

Thanks in advance!
Re: Rod Weights
Thanks! I had a feeling it was less than 4oz. I will pair it with the Exsence DC since I sold the Tat Type R already, hopefully the balance is finepoisonokie wrote:3.7oz and balanced at the nut with a tat type rCyacnba wrote:Does anyone know the weight of the Daiwa Tatula 6'10MH casting rod?

Re: Rod Weights
I was shocked myself. I weighed it over and over and got +/1 0.1grams. The rod does not feel heavy in hand. Definitely balances well with my Concept KP reel.Chode wrote:holy crap the hp 743 weigh 6.1oz??Wambulance wrote:

Re: Rod Weights
crazy indeed. they must've put a lot of weight in the butt to have it balance well. where's the actual balancing pt for u? i have the 745hp paired with a tourney g and it balances right at the end of the lock nut. unfortunately i don't have a scale to weigh mineWambulance wrote:I was shocked myself.

Re: Rod Weights
i now have two new NRX 872S JWR spinning rods, one blue and one green. here are my test results using the same scale:
green: 107.2 grams (3.78 ounces)
blue: 105.6 grams (3.72 ounces)
and, just for kicks, the g.loomis label with the price on it that they wrap around the handle, it weighs 0.4 grams
