NFC SB683 - weight?

Ok given the NFC sale going on now, I’m again perusing their blanks. The SB683 has a published weight of 1.1oz, which is seems out of line with other blanks in the series. Can anyone confirm an actual measured weight on these? Also - they list the blank as an all purpose spinning blank - but the specs make it look to excel for drop shot or walleye live bait jigging. Any thoughts from those who have built on it?

The weight is accurate and its a great rod for jigging river walleyes. Its the blank that myself and buddies have evolved to.

OK, I give up, why couldn't the blank you described be an all around blank?

It absolutely could be - but even a tool that works ‘all around’ could excel at certain tasks. More clear for you?

I myself just received 2-SB 724’s that will be built in spinning configuration. Put one on my kitchen scale and it reads 1.5oz. Seems to be an incredibly light blank for the amount of power it seems to have
