You are going to be amazed at how much lead it takes to balance that rod. Surprisingly , just putting two fingers in front of the reel stem instead of one while holding it moves the balce point forward just about 1 inch and that will do more than about 5 OZ of lead.

i don't recommend weighting the butt to balance a rod.
