Does anyone know the fore grip and aft grip on a Canadian style Mooching Rod?

Hi Jim

I build several hundred of these rods each year. The most popular handle configuration that I offer is 8" plus butt cap for the rear grip and 10" for the fore grip. I also build most of my rods with a downlocking seat. This configuration assumes that the angler will be using a classic single action "mooching" reel.
