I've always noticed that cutting a rod from the butt makes it feel stiffer, but never quite grasped the mechanics of why. Thanks for the explanation.
One of these days I want to try a 120 1L with the tip cut back to a size 12 or 14 and the remainder of a foot off the butt. I'm always looking for that "do-anything" 9 footer that's almost identical to the Fisher 8708 I never had a chance to buy
