Kaibutsu SM & DM Question

<< < (2/3) > >>

Kurt Carlson:
Well, I was successful with the shortening exercise.  Does not look too bad.  Hope to test it tomorrow. 
Mark,  putting the long butt of the SM aside, what do you think of the rod?  Do you think it would be too short with 2" removed from  the butt?

Mark Harris:
It's a capable rod Kurt. Certainly for the prices asked in Asia it is good value for sure. The fast blank is definitely designed to stop big fish.

Al Morrison:
A mate of mine went through this exercise a year ago, lopping off about 2-3" off a SM, and the rod has been superb ever since. The SM and DM are both decent casting machines.

Ben Rivers:
I have my 'Deep Monster' in at 'Fish Head' as we speak, taking 1.5 inches off, to make the butt the same length as the T Curve GT Special.

Should make a big differnce.

Kurt Carlson:
That all is good to hear.  I had a feeling they were good rods.  Someone on another forum said they were designed for low slung gimbals.  But In my case, that gimbal would be at my knees.  Thanks all for the comments.
