Cutting Down Rods

So I'm thinkin of cutting down my cts S7 3-6 11' rod. Its just a little too big for most situations where Im throwing stuff at the ditch. I was thinking of taking off 6'' to 1'...The lower half of the blank is fiberglass and has little to no bend on it at all. Does anyone know if this will strengthen or weaken the performance? Im thinking it will have almost no effect becuase basically the flex happens in the upper section of the blank but I wanted to get some feedback from ppl who have cut rods down...

something clever and related to fishing
