My personal opinion is that you want to get the rod balanced so that your never tip heavy. A rod that is tip heavy will wear you out during an outing. Almost all of my rods have the same butt length no matter what length overall they are. With the one exception of my heaver rod which I made with a longer butt to give me added leverage during casting.
I have played with adding weight to the butt section of the rod to balance my rods and to be honest you dont feel the weight much if its in the butt.
