Do you really think that less than 1 ounce would even be noticeable? I know I couldn't seem to notice it when trying out the reels they had on the display handles at Cabela's but the handles were already pretty heavy all on their own which may have threw off perception a bit. If I could take my rod in and try both out somewhere I'd be all set but sadly my lame Cabela's carries the CI4+ but not the FL or even the FK... I weighed my size 20 Pflueger president today and it weighs 6.4oz with the FL weighing 6.5 I would think that reel would be a pretty good indicator for a heavier reel. Thanks for the advice disco.
