I just did this for about the 15th time. I almost enjoy the challenge. Took an older 9' Arra rod and stripped it of all eyes, hypalon, reel seat. It is very thin blank, which I used for casting small metals. I want it to cast much farther though. I made it 24"s longer by putting in a butt extention and wrapped cork tape over that after putting a new reel seat on it. Fore grip is made of burl cork, so I have something to grip after hookup. I tried it out with a 1 and 2 oz deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&. I did not see where the 2 oz hit the water just new the direction it went in. Nice thing about this rebuild is I had all the stuff. I retro'd the rod a little with old Holland thread.
