Boy does that put things in perspective. I think I will try some LAG guides for weight reduction.
I must confess that I did build George's 120 1L lowrider, for me only (2011 I think)with a couple of mods, it was expensive for me, but man what a set up. very light running section and a great performer. The lighter tip section was a real eyeopener.

Got a set, Billy, to build a gift rod for a generous friend. I simply can't believe how light they are. Pick up the whole set and it feels like nothing (actually weigh less than 1/2 oz). Gonna be spoilers for sure
