so if you had your way and started over you would get a 11 footer and cut it down to 10.5'? Still deciding on what length to go with.

Don't worry Steve the 6'' less on the OAL length will keep him above root height.

Great, now put it back in the rafters and go back to conventional tackle before some guy from P Town crotchless leather pants proposes to you.

i do

in short .. i like the 10ft but reel seat placement is to short .rod is stout for canal needs and i like the type of guides and guide placement .but overall rod off the rack is un balanced for reel and me.[ also flapface agrees=no help] so i added 4in to butt it made a world of difference........everthing fits and feels right .feels like more power to plug on the cast. paul 11ft is to long for me.????? cant say ..but i'm happy w/ this now.....mike ..yes on that handle ...goerge ..why go to p-town ????theres plenty of those guys in falmouth .but your right about the rod in the rafters
