If the rod is still unbuilt, why not position the reel seat so that the length of the butt feels comfortable and puts the reel stem where you want it?

Shouldn't the length of the butt be dependent on you and not the rod/reel?

This is what I've assumed...I'd be interested to know what others think here.
