    I just weighed mine for comparison.
    Its a 13" Penn Legion surf rod fitted with a Penn Fathom star drag (600m of 50lb braid) - total weight around 1.35kg (approx 700 grams for the rod and 650 grams for the reel)

    Pretty sure I can fit the same amount of braid on my reel but got the suffix stuff for free.

    I am looking forward to trying it out.
