I built several for my own use by cutting longer blanks down to size. The building is no different than building any other rod.

I have a rod that I described earlier, that is 4'2" long. I use it for a sabiki rod but my Gkids use it to catch white trout and other fish from the pier.

If someone wants to talk about building, or showing you how, the Rod Professor can always come out of retirement.

I built a 'Shortie' Rod for someone. He liked it well for casting back under the trees until a big water moccasin fell into his boat. No Mas! He went back to a slightly longer rod after that. C2
