For what it’s worth, just built a new smallie rod on the Rainshadow Revelation 6’2” ML spinning blank. Haven’t had a chance to get it on the water yet but it’s an awesome feeling setup and very pleased with the rods backbone and what feels like a good tip section.

Thank you everyone for the feedback! I like shorter handles and the lightest rod possible so it looks like I might be building tip heavy rods. I've never minded them before for off the rack rods, just curious what kind of options I was looking at.

Novice/hobby rod builder here...On the handful of rods I've done, I have noticed that when the reel is mounted they feel "tip heavy." This doesn't necessarily bother me but I would like to know if there is a way to counteract this without adding a lot of overall weight to the rod. For reference, I live in the Ozarks and mostly like building UL/L/ML spinning rods in the 5 1/2 to 6 1/2
