| Is it possible? Everything seems to be at least 4-6ozs heavier in comparable sizes and actions. I did struggle finding what Savage Gear Rods weigh. Anybody else found lighter more budget friendly (i know, i know subjective) rods.
Thanks |

Tackle Industries rods. I have 3. This might be SC heresy, but I put down my Big Nasty after I started using the 9' Pro Musky with Revolution reel seat. I also have a couple jerkbait rods which are all light. I like to work jerkbaits with my wrist which is only possible for me with a light rod. Durable so far. |

Location: E. Tenn | Tackle Industries telescoping or 2 pc. would most likely suit your needs. Okuma's telescoping stuff is less pricey, and handles 2-8 oz. stuff well. |

| Do any of you suggesting TI Rods have a scale where you can weigh a 9'MH? |

| Shield Rods at Musky Shop. Currently there is free shipping on them as well. They are very nice at the price point they are. |

Location: midwest | KDAWG those Diamondbacks were amazing blanks...nothing else like them ever on the market. Sad day when Diamondback was sold to Cortland and blank manufacturing was outsourced and finally eliminated. |

Yep, mine is featherlight. I have the 7'03" heavy model and it, believe it or not, is as light as some of my ultra light panfish rods. Kdawg |

Light rod without spending SCLE money?
