That has to be the shortest butt length I have ever seen on a surf rod except a rod built expressly for an Alvey reel.



You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.

I thought the same thing but I think it's the camera angle.

No boat, back in the suds.

It isn't the camera angle; I'd be surprised if it measures over 14 inches from the stem of the reel . . .

LOL that is to funny, junk the trunk. If i lose a fish this year, I will blame the rod, and get a butt extension.
