Lightweight rods just dont hold up. The lighter you make it, the more they are likely to break, have guide failure etc. This is why I say that hunters are tougher than fishermen. They carry a rifle all day that weighs 10-12 lbs, and a few guys that fish worry about a rod that weighs an ounce or two more.
