I beleve the lightest were the Weld Racelites, but i think they were discontinued... The Weld magnums are very light as well...

lensos are about 8.5-9lbs. Bogart and Welds are in the 7.5-8lbs range depending on the style.

i've never weighed my 13x8 bogart drag on fly's but they're pretty damn light. I think Pro4's are even lighter.
