When assembling this handle on a blank, there is a 2.5 inch EVA but plug that is meant to but up against the bottom of the blank. So when complete on a 2 piece rod, the but end is about 2" longer than the tip. Right?
If I want these to be equal lenghts should I cut 2" off the but, or reem out the EVA plug to allow the blank to slide in??? Anyone have experience with this problem... Re: AMT Vetre Matrix Handle

WHY WOULD YOU WANT THEM TO BE EQUAL LENGTHS? I don't see tha two inches would make a differenvce either way. Re: AMT Vetre Matrix Handle

When I built mine I removed the threaded portion of the handle (the piece that the tube is eventually glued onto) and then installed/aligned the butt of the blank with the butt of the reel seat - the blank did not extend out to the end of the handle/tube - the butt of the blank doesnt come close to the EVA butt plug. I think someone posted detailed instructions on this a few weeks ago. You might find them useful - try a search or contact AMT directly.
Hope this helps. Re: AMT Vetre Matrix Handle

I think Joe posted those detailed instructions 3 weeks ago. Search for Vetre & it should pop up. I don't htink that answers your specific question though. Re: AMT Vetre Matrix Handle

Saw that Billy, that was helpful.
Question is - if you have seen the ATC but piece, it has a built-in cap - how would I ream it? I'd rather go with a close but loose fit over the blank (if I can figure out how to ream it, than cut the blank short. The handle just hanging over the end scares me a bit.
