I have a 9' and a 10' that I want to shorten... I love the rods and theaction, but I like a shorter length from reel to the butt... I usually rest the butt at the top of my thigh rather than in between my legs... any advice on removing the rubber end, cutting, and finishing? I was going to use a hacksaw, but not sure if cutting it will make it splinter upwards and destroy the rod..
