I dunno Wolfman. Guess its just the way I was taught. If the blank isn't right, choose another blank that is right would be my move. I do cut the butt sections all the time though, just not tips. Don't give Krispy too many ideas, he's a freak with power tools. Frankenrod will emerge from his shop.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
