5.7 ounce Primmus hand-tuned baitcaster, 5.75 ounce carbon-frame Producer LTE baitcast reel, Perfecta 7 rods. Full article here.
The Producer LTE is interesting, very interesting. It's also a bit worrying: 8+1 bearings, carbon frame & side plates, multi-disc drag, 5.75 ounces, price tag under $100. Just sounds too good to be true. The Johnny Morris Carbonlite hasn't exactly covered itself in glory, and it costs at least $30 more than this reel. The only other baitcaster in this weight range that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is the $130 H2O Xpress Mystic, which doesn't have a track record.
Gotta wonder just how much weight and cost savings you can get without lowering QC too far.
