Abstract
A counterweight assembly for balancing fishing rods utilizes an elongated, hollow butt cap mounted over the rear end of a fishing rod handle and supporting one or more counterweights internally or externally of the cap. The counterweights are selected as to weight increment and number so as to effectively balance fishing rods of different lengths about the fulcrum defined by the user's hand grip on the rod handle at the reel location.
