I only want between 10 to 12 behind. I've talked with him a bunch and we are going to do a lot of testing before he glues it all up. I think it will be better and I should be happy. I should have done more research on my end before I told him to.go on with the first build. It should all turn out fine. I'll let everyone know how everything turns out after he finishes them up. It will be a couple of weeks as whe is waiting on parts and my input.

Thanks
Tony

Phil,
Did you mistype?

If you move the reel back on the rod, the tip is going to get heavier, not lighter.

Maybe he meant move the reel back from the fulcrum point?

I'll be sending this one back to him Monday. I told him to strip the bottom and put a standard cork and reel seat on it. I'm having another one built to my specs and before he glues it all up he's going to show me the balance point with reel and we will decide what to do if anything at that point. We have a plan, I'll be sure to let you all know how it all turns out.

Thanks
Tony
