Photo Details
Enoch Tay Registered: September 2006 Location: Sydney Posts: 12	I cut down a 7' CTS elite spin tournament (8-12lb) to 6'8". I found that to have a short butt is advantageous to my casting as it doesn't knock into my forearm after a one handed "flick", and that was the ideal length for achieving perfect balance(the reel is a luvias 2500). I used Fuju T-ATSG guides, and the whole rod weighs about 80g (2.9 oz).

Hi Fred. It depends on how you prefer to hold the setup. I prefer to have 3 of my 4 fingers in front of the reel stem, and I place my index finger just in front of the cork knob at the front of the seat, hence it is horizontally balanced for my particular grip. Everyone has a different preference, that is the beauty of making a custom. I will slightly alter my grip depending on the type of lure I am using, and whether I want the rod tip to point upwards or downwards.
