That is true HBP, but you can also use a casting reel on a noodle rod and end up with the eyes and therfore the line on the underside of the rod so the line is not rubbing on the blank. Which it would do if it was built as a convintional casting rod. I agree you could do the same thing with putting more eyes on the blank but that many would change the action not just the weight.
