So im trying to extend the bottom part of a rod i just bought the blank is a gator t70h and would like to extend it about 2 more feet i have a piece of blank that would fit perfectly and its about 5 feet long it will fit nice and snug with of course some arbors will use dry wall mesh as arbors and rod bond for the epoxy slow cure since this will be a pier rod casting around 8oz to 12oz i need a long rear grip would be as long as i have extended the rod 24" my question here is should i install the reel to the blank or to the extension part? i have made a couple of butt extension already but they were around 20" so am not sure how good will it hold up
