The weight is what's confusing me. I didn't do the conversion on the scale reading correctly 1lb = 453.6 gr. and he shows just over 2lbs which would be 907gr, which seems way too heavy. The weights on the boxes may be from other parts and the packaging re-sued. I'll have to weigh one of my stock rods tonight. I like the idea of the lighter rods but these are new and would be strong and not need a rebuild or bolts. Just comes down to what I can get them for.
