Mike, I'm always humbled by that warehouse of knowledge between your ears - sheeesh

I dunno, it's sounding like the 136 3M is the way to go - what do you think about cutting it to say, 10'6"

Or should I try to locate an 1165 - or is that just the same blank?

If it was cut, tip or butt?

I'm thinking trimming the tip would stiffen it a little too much, no?

Omigod, I'm sounding like...well, whomever.

I'll gladly put you on an eel retainer for any future questions
