Just weighed the wizard i,m restoring.SeanM wrote:
Wizards are heavy old things as can be seen from the following weights courtesy of Mrs M's kitchen scales:
Wizard 14oz
Lucky Strike 10oz
Chapmans 500 12oz
and for comparison:
13ft Shimano Triple X 6oz Would I buy a Super Wizard? Well yes if one came up at the right price. I suppose the real problem would be sourcing rings if it needed new ones and I would be tempted to use unlined rings.
Green label Super Wizard 12.8oz.
All the ring,s are lined.
The handle measures 19 1/2in from the cane to the end of the rubber button but the cork it self is 16 1/4in.
Lucky Strike 10.4oz.
Chapmans 500 De-Luxe 11.4oz.
Lined butt and tip ring.
Seem,s to be a bit of difference in weight in all rod,s.
