    I've used the matagi balancers for a couple rods. They look and work great but are 27mm in diameter so it may take some contouring of the butt to make it flow depending on the rod.

    Yes the JDM is 6.2oz and the USDM is 6.7oz. I use the usdm version on a bit heavier powered rod so I welcome the extra half ounce to help balance everything out that much better.
