I would not be looking to do anything with this rod aside from jiggng and throwing big shads and sebiles. Everything else I can do happily with my current set up.

Rainshadow. You don't want an 11ft rod to jig the canal.

So what does cutting a foot off the bottom do to the 1328?

other than make it shorter

Nothing. Was designed to be cut up to a foot off the butt.

The one piece Lamiglas XSRA 1261 10' 6" rated for 2-6oz lures, is specially designed for the Cape Cod Canal and the blank has proven itself for over 20 years. "The feel of a one piece rod is really something special" Hope This Helps"

Not to start an arguement but it might be designed to cut a foot off but no matter what it will change the feel of the blank without question. No rod can be cut without changing it straight butt or not. This is just the way it is!!

Why 11' no good?

too long in some spots where the bank is steep, easier to lift a big jig with a shorter lever
