I was talking to a friend about the new 7'6" salt fly rods. He said he cast one and liked how it worked. So I was thinking about buying an 8 or 10 wt. 2 pcs blank and cutting it. Anyone try this? I'm wondering if taking that much off the butt end is going to ruin the action. Any input is appreciated. Happy New Year! MH Re: saltwater fly short stick

The saltwater-fishing-texas article recommends a 7'6" bait casting or spin rod but an 8-weight 9' salt water fly rod, as I would myself. I have yet to hear about the new 7'6" salt fly rods and their advantages. Can you recommend a source? Re: saltwater fly short stick

G Loomis pro4x is the rod to look up. Might be another one on the market. I'm looking for the article I read. My friend said it was a very easy rod to cast and was able to throw large flys a good distance when compared to his 9'. I'll get back to you when I locate article.
