Not an ultralight, but a light power blank on sale. Could easily add the components & stay under $150.

Thanks all. Was probably looking in the 12" range and will lean toward the slim since it would make sense it would be lighter. I can see where minimal epoxy and arbors will definately make a difference.

4. Slick Butt
Looking to build a standup rod with a slick butt and want it to be as light as possible, but don't see any weights listed on the slick butt's. Anyone have any idea where to get this info or which ones may be the lightest?
Thanks

Thanks for the input.
Had not thought about the size of the grip in my hand. This rod is replacing one that had a grip that I just measured at 1.34", so 1.06 would be a noticeable difference.
On the guides the 12 to the 10 did seem odd, but I had seen many others post similar guide trains. Guess I'll just end up ordering extras.

First post/first build start to finish. I have replaced guides/fixed other stuff on rods before, just never started with a fresh blank..... I've been reading a lot on the forum & hoping I include all the relevant info below to answer my questions.
I am building a rod to throw live eels & bucktails for cobia. Reel is a Shimano Stradic 8000. Plan on using 40-50 lb braid on the reel
