The story...
The quest to construct
the lightest float conversion possible using techniques and that I've picked
up over the years may have been achieved with this little gem! The
blank is a favorite among clients

With this rod, the adventure ends, but another awaits my attention....

because of its length (9 foot), its action (moderate), its blank mass (a
mere 1.83 ounces) and its portability (4 piece construction). The
use of flexi-lite guides, natural cork split grip reelseat and handle kit
and a minimalist approach to wrapping and finishing, the finished rod weighs
in at only 3.19 ounces! Combine this rod with a 3.5" - 4" centre-pin
and the combination could theoretically weigh less than 9 ounces total!
We're talking feather light here! An attempt at completing a finished
rod that weighs in at less than 3 ounces is planned for the near
future.. I'm sure it is possible without sacrificing performance and
durability and I've got a good idea on how to accomplish it. Stay
tuned for the next installment mid summer, 2010, with a project name of
"Microgravity" seeming to be the most appropriate.
