nice looking rod.... your also really starting to rack and stack them there in that rod rack... I am thinking about a shorter rod I got a ulgy stick lite one piece that has the perfect pan fish action already now I am thinking of hacking it off at about 30-36 inches.... to make a jigging stick out of it a one piece jigging stick.... but then I got to find another to use so I can do it with the older one....I think the ulgy stick lite is 5 foot 6 inch one piece cutting 2 foot 6 inches off mite just work and re-wrapping it should be easy enough.. any how great idea now you got me thinking...
