I have found that the pro gear is slightly lighter but since it looks heavier, people think it is heavier. Funny how the mind plays tricks.

Progear YTS... 31 1/2 oz
Penn 4/0 YTS with a Tiburon frame...33 1/2 oz
Penn 4/0 YTS with a full Newell kit...31oz

All reels full of line and with reel clamps.

Not surprising since the PG 454 is smaller than the YTS.  Calling the 454 a YTS is kind of a misnomer since the 454 is a smaller reel in both size and capacity.

My Jvarience 113H Yellowtail special with a full spool of 80# braid and a 50 yard topshot only weighs 43 oz.
