Actually Herb I bid on the rod and really had no plan as what I was going to do with it. I knew it was lite for a spey rod. I just decided to bid on it and I was sure I would get it and I did. I thought I could one hand it but the rod would tire me out fairly soon. Live and learn. Maybe the best thing to do is to sell it and get a blank 9/10 ft. Re: fly rod shortening

here is a crazy idea
Tell us what you are looking for What fish you are going after What line you would like to use Then you can get an idea of what to look for on THAT site Hold onto that blank and maybe you will find some one looking for it and you can sell it for better money Bill - willierods.com Re: fly rod shortening

If you extend a multi piece rod then you have a butt section that is too long. This can be solved by building it like a bass flipping stick with the butt section telescoping into the next section. Re: fly rod shortening

If you are unsure of what length rod you want you could cut the blank into four 3' sections, slide each smaller section inside the next larger section like a telescoping bass rod,, and put a guide on the small end of each section. When you go fishing just pull out as many sections as you want. I have seen people fishing with rods like this and they said they love them. Re: fly rod shortening

Phil, if you put a guide on "the small end of each section" you CANNOT slide them inside each other! Re: fly rod shortening
