Interesting. Personally I'm not at all convinced by the "how much does it weigh" train of thought with beach rods. It's a lot more about balance for me. Add to that the fact that most beachcasters are sitting in a tripod the majority of time....so why does weight matter much unless you're fishing an unbalanced set up (or you're a weakling that needs to grow a set of muscles)?
