Calstar GF700H - Approx Weight??

[Jay Burgess]

G'day guys just wondering if anyone could tell me approximately how much a built GF700H weighs?

490 grms all made up

[Jay Burgess]

Thanks Greg 

[Stephen Polzin]

Mine's 550 grams.

[Jay Burgess]

Thanks Stephen that sounds pretty heavy, how do you find casting all day with it??

[Stephen Polzin]

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!

Well said Stephen - hit the nail on the head

  if you're worry about the weight of the outfit....then I think you need to go to the gym often Jay.....go grab a couple of 5yr old kids and use them as weights.

Hi guys ,

I am not exactly young anymore so for me every ounce less , the better it is . I still prefer Stella 16000F over SW10000HG due to weight difference .
