I've always wanted to try one of those Ti Lami rods. Does any one know if they are lighter than their counterparts? That would be the only real advantage in my books. My wrist/arm/shoulder start to hurt after a full day of chucking bait with a 9.5' and floats with a 10.5' rod all day long. Would be nicer if they were a few ounces lighter.

Man, after using those rods all day long, my original 8.5' baitcaster looks and feels like a little bass flippin' stick!
