Peter, I took the same south Bend and shortened it to about a 7 or 7 /12
footer. Just lopped of the butt and reattached the grip and reel seat. It came out great, cast about a four weight line and I gave away to some kid whose mother's pants I never got into... ....wish I had the rod back.... john "Peter A.

I build my own rods from scratch, so I don't feel like monkeying with store bought ones anymore. Let the next guy practice on this one, or fish it as is! Pete |
