I would have posted this in the "Rod Building Forum", but since it doesn't look like it gets used much, I figured I'd throw it up here.

I need to cut about 3 inches off the butt of my conventional rod. I have never cut down a rod before.
How do I do it?
Just use a fine hacksaw or miter saw?
Advice greatly appreciated before I turn my rod into a tomato stake.
