While at high point I purchasedSome parts and pieces from Fishstix, Well i got to use them and had a Problem. E-Mailed Robert on Saturday and Explained what happened. Robert called me SUNDAY evening to discuss my dilemma and was told he would mail the needed part monday. Arrived home Tuesday to find the Box on the back step, So I am back in Business. Very nice that a dealer Stands behind

The unit lance has shown you is a two piece unit,there is a fitting on the top end that you glue your blank into.Which would increase the rod length to almost 7 feet if you do not trim the blank. what you might be looking for is a slick butt that sits between the gimbal and the seat. They come in three lengths 8"-10"-12" []
