when i bought a fishing pole (for fishing not WC) the guy said in the shop to not look at the weight but more at the balance of the pole.

when da services deliverered resin to me in his van, he let me examine his xtel pole same as i had, only his was nearly half the weight, found out at that time, a bad batch, (wall thicknes was double what it should have been) was made by mistake, so weather the new ones are lighter i cant say, i use the harris for domestic, superlite for everything else
