I actually have added length to a couple of rods. The last one I did ended up 13 1/2' long. It could cast a 3 oz. metal almost all the way across the canal. Broke the top 18" off of that one, not repairable. The only that happened as a result of the break was thatI couldn't put cork tape back on the rod. I put burl cork on it from the bottom to the reel seat. Now the rod doesn't spin on the lathe because the eyes make it spin off-center. So I have to take four of five of the eyes off and re-wrap after I turn down the burl cork. It should work out fine.
