I fish 20 lb braid regularly with 2 mm guides on my lighter powered steelhead rods to 13 ft long. Complaining about a 9 ft rods balance and how fatigued makes me shake my head with wonder. Fished 8 ft 3 in Fenwick Fenglass rods for steelhead and salmon when I was nine, 9 ft. fiberglass than graphite to the 15 - 30 line class since they started building them, never once felt fatigued even when fishing weeks during the long days of Alaskan summers.
20 years ago I could have fished with a 3/4 inch galvanized pipe all day and smiled about it. Damage to elbows and wrists over the years and the inevitable arthritis that comes from hard physical work. Fatigue and comfort do beome issues. Rods and reels have become lighter and more balanced over the years. Mainly the advancements have been driven the consumer demand for such equipment.
I think balance is more of an issue when swinging with a two hander, where a well balanced rod will significantly reduce fatigue during the swing (read more here) . Single handers... Not so much.
