Ken,
I'm posting this here as well as sending an e-mail just to try and make sure I reach you. I know you build a lot of 1264s and was wondering what your butt length was on a spinning rod for a guy about your size (I met you briefly in Charlotte). I did an initial guide setup and your general rule of a BSVLG40 at 28 inches seems to be right on for the reel I’m using (you do mean the regular spinning guide and not the ultra high surf guide, right?). What I am uncertain about is how long to make the butt for a guy who will never push the rod to it’s full 4oz – probably never more than 3oz and a bloodworm, most often 2oz plus the worm – and so probably won’t need the leverage of “full extensionâ€. I have an idea what I think I should do, but would like to check my thinking against a pro. Marty Martin Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
