The bottle on the Finetail is almost touching the floor, the next weight added made it contact the floor so it is the same in the rest of the pics.

5.1 oz at this point the bottle on the lunakia is almost touching the floor. The bottle on the finetail has been on the floor after the previous picture.

I tried to get the tips of the rods as close to the same height as I could during the set up, but due to different butt and handle sizes that was harder than I thought it would be. The Aji-do tip started at 36.25" off the floor, with 5.1 oz of weight the tip was 17" for a deflection of 19.25"
The Finetail tip started at 37 3/8" off the floor, the bottle went from just above the floor at 4oz to touching the floor at 4.4oz ending tip height of 8 1/2" for a deflection of 28 7/8"
The Lunakia tip started at 39.25" off the floor with 5.1 oz if weight the tip was 10.25" for a deflection of 29"
Not sure what the measurements indicate, the pics should give an indication of the bending characteristics of the rods. I took more pics but didn't want to bore everyone with every weight increase. I was using .40 bullets for the weight so I took a pic after adding each weight.

ESP 6 ft power lite model in front. Sam Heaton 7ft in middle with bobber on the line. Lunkia 610 in the rear highest bottle. All have 5.1 oz of weight suspended. Figured I'd look at them before I moved the backdrop.

Thanks for all the effort you extended for us. I’m dumb with the Japanese stuff, it helps a lot.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
Nice display of bending curve. I still remember my first Aji rod I bought over 10 years ago. I thought, Is this an UL….LOL. I would love to fish one time for the Aji just to see how they bite. From everything I’ve read you’ve got to be on your toes to stick them.
