I was stuck in the house all weekend because of this lovely NE weather so i figured i would mess with my rods a little.

Quantum Tournament Grade 7'

Nice. How did you cut the reel seet down?

[FR0G]

Oh, nice! Let us know how you did it.

Thanx. I didnt cut the reel seat i just removed tha fore grip on the middle rod and shortened it on the spinning rod and split all 3 rear grips.

I got the idea from a couple other members on here who dod the same.  I found this artical online that explains in detail how it it is done, but i didnt remove the but grip the way he does just cut to the length you want and shape to desired feel.

I love the articles on his site. He really simplifies spilitting a grip and makes it easy!

My Pro Qualifier must be from a different year then because the reel seat looks different when I unscrew it. Thanks.

[NE_fishr]

I think they changed them a little last year or this year because its a little different than other ones i've seen.

what did u use to finish the graphite between the grips?

[bhorlings]

I normally use rod finish from American Tackle or Flex Coat.

I just used regular 30 min. 2 part epoxy because i had some around the house but i came out good.
