Ill have to measure, but I specifically had this rod designed to a 2 piece rod that I was using.

That has to be the shortest butt length I have ever seen on a surf rod except a rod built expressly for an Alvey reel.

Maybe it's the angle but the butt looks short, only person I can see using that is part of the canal lollipop guild

I thought the same thing but I think it's the camera angle.

It isn't the camera angle; I'd be surprised if it measures over 14 inches from the stem of the reel . . .

LOL that is to funny, junk the trunk. If i lose a fish this year, I will blame the rod, and get a butt extension.
