Joe, my father in law built a gsb 132 1L...cut two feet off the butt...It's nice...I'd say if you want it a little faster, get the 132 1m and do the same thing...

If your father in-law saw wht I had planned he'd laugh his @$$ off. It is defintely going to be a basic ghetto rod. Blank, cork tape. no real seat. Single layer Black wraps, no underwrap. I am probably going to skip the epoxy on the wraps also, just protect them w/some tape, perhaps Tommy tape. one layer. I don't want to have to f'around in season when I have to replace guides which I always do, replaced 4-5 last year.

I guess if you already had a 132 blank on hand, that'd be one way to go. But you could achieve the same thing, and save a few bucks in the process, by lopping one foot off a 120  |
