13ft,two equal sections ,very slim and powerful same butt diameter as the zziplex bass.can cast a 4oz lead a very long way and is ultra light.

Specs: Equal section 6'8" butt with 6'4" tip + 4" spigot allowance = 13 ft

Butt diameter 20mm with shrink Tube 21.5mm wow...I thought it was more until I checked it just now. Tip diameter 2.6mm

My PTX Bass has a 21.5mm Butt and the Light Bass has a 20mm

It has a very good feel to it, even thought it has similar characteristics to the PTX Bass once you pick it up its no where like the PTX...you just now its going to work....Terry did say it is one of the most user friendly rods he has built.

Not having cast it yet but I would guess the sweet point would be around 4oz....I may be wrong...as materials get better rods tend to get slimmer, I am sure this rod will chuck 5oz without any sweat.

I wish the blank was black or blue though...white blanks dont suit everyone :lol:

Sounds the business alright! Would'nt worry about the "white blank" Tom it'll go nicely with my white overalls and whistle!
Cheers.
