I use 10' rods most of the time, with the reel anywhere from 21" to 25" up the butt.

Between the legs is the only way it works for me

I like a short butt section and the butt in the gut. I started building my own rods just to get the right fit for a given blank.

between the legs. There was one summer where I had many bruises on my gut which prompted me to switch.

10' rod, I rest the but on the top of my thigh.
