CUSTOM Slow Pitch - Spiral Jigger PE 1~2

After completed my first jigging rod in September last year, I found out that one was abit too heavy for lighter jigs and this time I am building a lighter one.

There is a saying and fly fisherman love to say...  "Matching the hatch" 
but in the case, it is matching the reel.....

Matching the rod with Daiwa Saltiga.

Can you guess what is the weight of this completed jigging rod?

My rough guess was around 160 - 170 g .. perhaps.
But I was wrong... It is only 149 grams (something like 5.25 oz)

Spiral guide placement.

Matching the rod..    :)
