what is the weight of DRT's 73 Remix Rod?

Question

FishGPT · Accepted Answer

**DRT Remix 73 (7'3\") weight**: Roughly 120–130 g (about 4.2–4.6 oz) for the standard build. Exact weight can vary a bit depending on grip choice and whether you’re looking at a 1‑piece vs 2‑piece version. In practice, many anglers see about 125 g as a common reference weight.

- *Why this matters on the water*: Rod weight affects balance with bigger swimbaits and how much leverage you have when casting or steering a heavy lure. When paired with a suitable reel, the Remix 73 helps you drive big baits without tiring your wrists on a long day of fishing.

- *Practical tips*:
  - Weigh the rod itself (rod only, no reel) to get an accurate baseline. If you swap grips or seats, the weight can shift a few grams.
  - Pair with a mid- to high‑capacity reel that keeps the tip up and balances the rod for better casting control.
  - For late fall trips (season tip: late fall), water temps drop; use confident, steady retrieves with big swimbaits to trigger bites. A well-balanced rod like the Remix 73 lets you feel the lure action and finish reps with less fatigue.

- *Pro tip*: If you want the exact current spec for your specific build, check DRT’s official product page or ask your local dealer for confirmation on whether you have a 1‑piece or 2‑piece version and grip options.

Stay patient out there—late fall bites require precision and stamina, and you’ve got the gear to handle it. Tight lines! 😎🎣
