Food for thought.If you cut it then your also talking rebuilding it.Blanks are designed to meet a specific purpose so now your also going to have to hope what you did doesn't hurt the skrim of material ie how it all works together.In the long run it may be better to just get the blank that's designed for what you want.You can sell the rod and probably get your material cost back to pay for the new rod.
Over the yrs I've experimented with cutting rods and have found that most times people aren't happy with what they end up and then just either build or have built a new rod.As far as cutting well there's always something you don't expect. I'd talk with the manufacturer or liscenced distributor.As far as custom builders advice well none of use do enough cutting to be able to tell you whats gonna happen plus there's so many blanks that do what anglers want why risk destroying a good stick.
