The BnM 10' Black Widow telescopic rod is lighter than my BnM 10' ultra lite, or my BnM 10' Sam Heaton jig rods.
Of coarse there is no reel to add to the weight either, but I do use small reels on my jig poles.
The Black Widow line also includes longer lengths which will of coarse add some to the weight.
The very long 16' is too heavy for me, but then so are the conventional 16' rods.
I do have a few 12' and a few 10' Pro Angler rods which are also excellent quality rods, especially for trolling.
If I were ever going to get more serious about this, id just be adding a few more 12' Pro Anglers to what I have.
But running line thru all those guides on the very long rods especially in the boat, for me at least isn't very enjoyable.
Videos don't show any of that, just the fun stuff.
