Hi Andy,
The answer to you question the answer is yes. Lengthening the rod by adding to the butt has the effect of moving the "lock up" point toward the tip, the reverse of shortening the rod by cutting from the butt, which moves the lock up point closer to the butt.

Any specific shop names please?

Earl,

Interesting concept, conversely will making a handle longer speed up a rods action then??

I'm looking at a customising a rod to add 2" to the handle!!

Cheers

Hi Jon,

No, I am toying with the idea of custom ordering a ripple fisher Aquila 76 with an extra 2" in the handle to use as a multi purpose PE5 rod, but still have not decided between it and the BC75.

You have given me an idea though regarding the SP78H SHP, could carpenter do a custom order for the longer handle I wonder, without using the aluminium extension.

Cheers
Andy
