Pics of most balanced high end rod please
If you don't mind, please post pics of your most balanced setup showing where it sits on your finger. everybody seems to have their own version of "balanced" so the best way for me to know is via picture. anything from nrx, conquest, xtasy, steez, k2, etc would be nice. much appreciated!!

Including custom rods?
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: Pics of most balanced high end rod please
Oh, I can have a lot of fun with this...
MS-X MXC-610M/Zonda 68L
I think this is the 65ML, but I'm not sure. I'll definitely take some more pictures of these while I'm sitting inside during this weekend's oppressively hot weather.

Re: Pics of most balanced high end rod please
I got TT autocorrected earlier and didn’t notice.
My most balanced combo is an Imakatsu Rodeo Ride built by Designo that I got from a member here with an upgraded steez sv. 9.3oz tw. Balances under the reel. In the pic the tip is slightly up and my finger is the only place it can rest without having to hold it in my hand.

Steez RD Shallow cover finesse Upgraded steez ct. With the stock reel it balances better, but the whole combo the way it is with the KTF spool, star drag, and carbon handle it weighs 8.1 oz tw and at that weight balance doesn’t mean much.

Re: Pics of most balanced high end rod please
Those pics say a lot about those major craft rods. Light weight pretty well balanced and underrated. Nice stuff.

Re: Pics of most balanced high end rod please
That's what got me hooked on them. They're very well designed and constructed. The only one that's really tip heavy at all is the frog rod, but it's still pretty balanced considering. They could have balanced it with a longer handle like the H and XH (all three have 100% double-footed guides), but it would've gotten in the way when walking the dog. I think the smaller Ti/SiC guides used on all of them have a lot to do with it. They are all 7' or shorter, so there's no denying that's a substantial factor, but my personal preference is for rods of that length anyway.
Here are the weights since the OP wanted specs:
MS-X MXC-64UL/BF: 3.5
MS-X MXC-65L/BF: 3.4
MS-X MXC-68ML/BF: 3.5
MS-X MXC-69M/BF: 3.6
MS-X MXC-65ML: 3.7
MS-X MXC-66M: 3.7
MS-X MXC-610M: 3.9
MS-X MXC-67MH: 4.4
MS-X MXC-70MH: 4.4
MS-X MXC-70H: 4.7
MS-X MXC-70X: 4.8
MS-X MXC-70FR: 5.2
This is the way.
