I hate cutting the butt off I bought a ten fter not a 9'8" rod.I have cut off the reel seat with my 4 inch grinder and my diamond wheel I use for tile.I filled it in with cork tape and taped the reel on.I have also just taped over the reel seat an taped a 700 dollar saltiga reel to my 1209 canal rod..I have cut some off the but before Also.Do 1 inch at a time.Just to be sure..
