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!

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 .
