Balanced Tackle?

It's the weight of the lure that I want to feel bring the rod out of balance and signal to me that something is going on with the lure (loss of weight or additional weight). I balance my spinning rods directly on top of my lead finger holding the rod. I don't usually try to balance my casting rods as I fish them tip down. oe

More Info About Lews Bb Series

What are the thoughts concerning this from site members who have fished with these reels. If you have links to discussions of this topic (excluding from the Lews site and the 3-4 sponsored pro's youtube vids) please post them. Thanks. oe
