A well designed rod should balance on the locking nut with an appropriate reel on it. The balance on my OneTen Special only moves a few millimeters when I put my Chronarch on it vs my Aldebaran. Same with my Javelin or FMJ. If I were to put a 300 or 400 size reel on it, I'd expect different results though. I can post pictures if you're not convinced

Could you do so? Tackletour did a review of the Javelin and said that it was tip heavy when paired with a chronarch.

      All rods are tip heavy when a bait is tied on.  Balance depends on the reel paired with the rod.  Balance is also subjective.  Try before you buy.

      SC is very tip heavy IMO... Dobyns is great for balance... I have Orochi, Helium 3, Tatula Elite, ALX Zolo, NRX and they are all superb in my book from a balance standpoint.  Best balance/lightness un

      I float fish for steelhead with a 13’ rod held tip up all day long. The “balance” point is probably 2’ in front of the reel. Lol.

    Update: So I recieved my Champion 734 today and was somewhat disappointed by its balance, which isn't any better then my $85 No. *** 76MH.
