Hi Janusz, There is several things you can do to lighten the rod and make it lighter than a stock rod, Titanium single foot guides, shorten the grip as much as possible, I'm not sure who builds the lightest reel seats, but I'm sure that there is some one on this board could fill in that blank for you. Have a great day, Mike Nicolle Columbia Custom Rod and Tackle cell 503-396-2876

Hi Aaron, Go to decal Connection on the left. They can build you just about anything you need in the way of fonts, size, and/or colors. They are a great company to deal with, and the product is great. Mike Columbia custom rod & tackle

Hi Tim, I prefer the zircoinia rings for salmon, or any big fish. I use alot of braided line for salmon, steelhead, and sturgeon and have not had any problems with the line grooving the rings. Hope this helps, Mike

Hi Chuck, Todd is right, the 6F is a beast. I've thrown both rods and I prefer the 5F if you plan to do a lot of casting . Hope this helps, Mike

Hi Phil, Because there 5 min. as pretty quick, and quicker the warmer it gets. I'd use something alittle slower. I use the 2 hour and it does a good job. Good luck. Mike
