I am building a RodGeeks 804Xcomp. If I use a 12" but grip I have a measurement of 23 1/4" from stripper to front of reel seat. Or use 10" butt grip and have 25 1/4" to front of reel seat. Which one of these To choices are good? Oh by the way this is a casting rod build. Thanks for your Feedback

I purchased some Fuji Ultra Poly Size D thread and it seems to me the D thread is not as thick as others. I was just wondering if Fuji thread is just a little thinner then other size D thread. Used it on a 15/30lb Rainshadow Rod with Alps guides. Use a single wrap of thread on the guides and I am hoping it is a strong wrap. Thanks for your help, and Have Great New Years
