If you're inquiring about my post, the butt length is about 7-8" max. If I hold the rod right above the reel seat, which is how I hold all spinners when fighting fish , the butt tucks under a little short of my elbow.
I've played around w/ different butt lengths and this is what works best for me. It's perfect! Anything longer would just get in the way.
The blank is by Lamiglas and turned into a kayak rod only because I have a few of these blanks laying around and needed one- SB1363M, Yes the surf blank, but it's one of the most versatile blanks I've come across so off to cutting it I went.
I've also built a kayak rod for a friend in FL out of a MB1083M - a 9' blank that I trimmed back from the tip and butt to handle 2.5oz + plugs and big tarpon. That one also turned out baller! Again, a glass blank.
