I need to order myself some new Shimano gear!:bounce:

One item I'm considering is a Calcutta spinning rod. Can you please give me the overall weights of the Calcutta CLS70M, CLSSF70M and the CLS70MH?

Thanks,
Bob

I won't be able to get them for you until later next week when we are back in the office. We are all in Alabama on a dealer fishing trip.

 

[Bob Fate]

No problem. Good luck!:biggrin:

[Bob Fate]

Umm... Did you happen to get those rod weights for me?:bounce:

BTW, you didn't say how your fishing trip was. Any report?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bantam,

Any word on those weights?

Thanks

I sent my rod developer an email asking for the weights. I didn't realize he left for another trip after we came back from Alabama. He should be back on Friday I hope or maybe Monday. I didn't forget!

The trip was fun! My boss and I were able to sneak out one morning and do some hog hunting on their lodge property. We shot two and found one. I can't wait to do that again, except with one of my own rifles next time.

I just received an email back from the rod development team. They do not have the weights in our system. All of the Calcutta spinning rods are located in our east coast warehouse. We would need to ship a rod here to weigh it and then ship it back. Thats about $90 in shipping just to weigh the rods. Unfortunately I am not allowed to do that just to weigh the rods.

Cheapskate!:tongue: J/K

Thanks for trying!

I am going to sneak into our marketing cage in the warehouse and see if there are any of the Calcutta spinning rods in there. We have a lot of the rods from several series stashed away in there for marketing purposes.

Have you done the deed?

 

[Bantam1]

CLSSF70M is 114 grams. Thats the only one we had in the cage to weigh.

 

[Bob Fate]

OK, thanks. Those medium fast action rods are usually lighter than a true fast action. From that information I would guess that the CLS70MH is probably 1 1/2 oz. heavier. That would put it at 5 1/2 oz. Sound about right?

 

[Bantam1]

1 1/2 ounces sounds a little high. Maybe 1/2-3/4 ounce difference.
