Fuji DPSM16 vs. DPSM17 weight

Anyone know what the weight is on each of these? I have the DPSM17 and it looks like just under an ounce, and wondering how much lighter the DPSM16 is?

Thanks!

Thanks - Marc

Keep it simple - that's all I can handle!

Marc,
Don't worry about the weight. Use the product that you need to use to build the best rod for the application.

I presume that these are both reel seats. If you need the larger reel seat, by all means install it. But, if the hands are smaller and you need the smaller reel seat - install that one.

Be safe

Your fishing rod is a tool for catching fish, how many hand tools do you have with a small grip the size of your 16 mm reel seat? For me anyway, weight isn't everything, if I think it needs to be a bit lighter I minimize the thread length to the point that the reel will barely fit, and there nothing lighter than a hole. You'll never notice a hole under the reel foot.
