Hello everyone,
I ordered a Point Blank blank PB731MHXF, would it be a bad idea to trim the blank down from the butt end from 87" to 85"? What changes could I expect from doing this? I'm using the rod for Texas Rigs ranging from 1/4-3/8oz. Thank you, Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/12/2019 03:38PM by Jason Yu. Re: Need Advice: Trimming blank from 87 to 85

Go for it. Trim only from the butt. Re: Need Advice: Trimming blank from 87 to 85

You can expect no change.The only thing that will happen is that the blank will be lighter by 2" of missing butt. Go for it and enjoy it.
Have fun John Re: Need Advice: Trimming blank from 87 to 85

Might want to check on possible warranty issues. Re: Need Advice: Trimming blank from 87 to 85

Trimming 2" from the butt, the action will become slightly slower and a tad bit of power will be lost. But you'd be talking a miniscule amount.
