I'm looking for a casting 6'6" MH rod that is as light as possible without compromising power and sensitivity. My worm/jig rod is getting too heavy for me to hold all day anymore. Would like something in the Steez class but I can't possibly afford the price of the Steez or Loomis rod. Any of you custom builder guy like to offer me something? Thanks.
Shimano Cumarra $220
I am not sure what your set-up is like, but it may be more of a balancing issue. If you rod is not balanced properly it becomes much harder to throw all day, becomes heavy feeling. You will only save a couple of ounces most likely with even the lightest rods.
I can custom build you one in the 150 range
I got a couple rods from a guy around Indy. Goto feathercast.com he was really nice and sent the rods quickly. It is the lightest rod I have. I did some trading with him and he seemed like a good dude.
carrot stixs are pretty light start at $150
I'll second Feather-Cast. Brian Althouse is a standup dude and you will get more than you paid for. Less than $200 clams delivered and it will be sensitive and light, plus his warranty is as good as any out there. Carrot Stix ain't worth the effort. I have been building for a long time and I am not impressed. Anything made out of all natural byproducts is certain for failure, especially if you use it consistantly.
