Sounds like you were very clear in what you were asking, but Loomis might have mis-construed the question based on your location, what weight is a rod? (don't know, just a guess). Some people want to know actual weight (ounces, grams, ect) others want to know whether it is a med-heavy weight , heavy weight, light weight, ultra light weight...hopefully this doesn't give you a bad taste for Loomis, they make great rods and whenever I have called them, the people at customer service have been exceedingly helpfull (A shout out to Fran, Andrew and Anna!) But here locally I don't think as many customers are concerned with actuall weight...

If you shake it...and it feels good, what more do you want.
My recomendation is to go to a fishing forum full of knowledgeable anglers, let them know what your application is, and let the opinions fly!
