Mike Z Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 I like my Powell rod but notice that at 7' long and with the reel that most of the weight balances about 4" in front of the reel. I would like to know if I can add some weight to the butt end so that the rod balances a lot more toward the reel like my old spinning rod setup. As far as I can tell, there is no plug to remove to add weight. Thanks Quote

ejtaylor822 Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Can also try these: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_16515____SearchResults Although don't buy into the hype about the sensitivity. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 1, 2010 Super User Posted June 1, 2010 I make them with the chair leg plastic tips and a lead egg sinker flattened to fit inside the plastic. Quote
htbass Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 I have them on all my rods and love them. Both the ones that bass pro sells and some that I made up myself with rubber stool tips and these disc-shaped sinkers that a local tackle shop sells. Quote
