It's a toad Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I was curious to know what is the lightest possible rod and reel for under $260 (just out of curiosity). Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted January 13, 2017 Super User Posted January 13, 2017 Quantum Smoke rod with a Lews LFS Speed spool. The rod is $140 and the reel is $100. The 7' MH-F Smoke rod is 3.7oz and the Lews reel is 7oz even making the combo 10.7oz alone or about 11oz when spooled with line. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted January 13, 2017 Super User Posted January 13, 2017 Weights will vary a little the Okuma Helios rods are light yet still have good power. For $107 at walmart the 7' M/F Helios rod weighs 3.3-3.4oz. My 7' MH/F Helios weighs 3.5oz its $135 at walmart. These rods also have good balance with light reels so thats a plus. My gen1 Quantum Smoke 7' M/F rod is 3.4oz can be found on ebay 100-120 I feel its a better rod than the Helios So if getting 7' M/F Helios $150 left for reel. BPS White JM Carbonlite is 5.8oz $120, at times, on sale for around $90. How good the reel is I had the black and took it back lacked smoothness but good caster. Quote
