So exactly what did it do... or what did Nebe say it would do or what does it do... exactly???

1dozenraw.. by cutting off 4 inches, you can get away with casting heavier plugs on a very light blank.

I love that blank..

Like Nebe said it was mainly to allow the blank to throw more weight. I also wanted a heavier rod that was shorter than 10 ft. There is not alot to choose from in that size range so I cut this down to 9'6. I feel better throwing 3 oz. w/ than I do with a 1201m. It's nice to have something a little more lightweight that can still handle some large plugs and eels.
