Hatchetjack, you may have unraveled a lot of speculation among us 500-reel seekers, Sir. Is this a closed measure or extended if it's the latter i can picture it being another .5 of an inch shorter? Do you also own the Shimano ci4+ s408ul rod @ a mare 45 grams in weight? All said and done, pairing this Soare ci4+ 500s with a Gamakatsu luxxe yoihime Ten s48al @28g may be the lightest if NOT the world's lightest Ultralight combo....that's a crazy 168gram rod/reel weight!! (Damn the rabbit hole indeed!!.lol)
