I plan on buying a new UglyStik Lite UltraLight rod. I assume this would fit the rod, I just wondered if anyone has tried these on "ultralights".

A: 
I use the Balancer system on one light rod, and one medium-light rod, and have found it to work well. You can easily adjust the amount of weight at the butt end to get the exact balance point you want (all of my rods are balanced at the reel seat).

A: 
The balancer will fit a Mojo rod, the cap will be very snug on the bottom though. Put your reel on the rod and then adjust the balance so the tip is lighter than the butt of the rod. If you get the tip too light you'll have trouble pitching baits without a fair amount of practice

A: 
I have 7 St. Croix rods (Legend Tournament and Avid models), and I have balanced all of them so the fulcrum is at the reel seat. You can fine-tune the weights, however, so that you can create slightly more weight toward the butt or the tip of the rod, based on your personal preference. With several of my rods, I filed away a bit of the lead on the weights to create the exact balance point I wanted. I have not needed to use more than two of the included weights on any of the rods.

Usually these balance kits come with several size weights. I use a them myself. you should be able to get a decent balance. I use a little duck tape to add some strength to the butt ( I broke a couple years ago)

The balancer will even out the rod..you may have to add some quarters though. These really work well for tip-heavy rods.

A: 
I don't know the exact weights, but you get three VERY heavy weights with each one. I have never used more than one of the lead weights even on 7 & 8 foot rods. You will have plenty even for your float and fly. I would fish with just one and then see if you want more.

I'm not sure, but it is a lot heavier than quarters. I think it weighs at least a few ounces.
