Doesn't bother me at all.
I mean really, let's put things in perspective. A Stella 10000 weighs 890 grams. Plus line. Then add 550 grams for the rod. That's 1440 grams plus line. A stella 8000 on it will be 1230 grams. A light rod might be 100 grams less. Sure for some people every gram counts. In my view though, if 100 grams makes that much of a difference then you're going to be in real trouble when you start hanging a fish off the end!
