Drew03cmc Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Ok, let me preface this by saying, yes, I realize my blanks aren't worth the cost of this project. I have 2 rods I want shortened to 5'6". First is an old St. Croix Premier 6' M PC60. I have already cut 3" off the butt and it needs 3 more cut off, which would necessitate moving the seat forward and putting a new rear grip on it, 5" or so would be great. Second is an older Falcon FC-4-16 6' M. It is all stock. It'll need 6" removed, seat moved and the same new 5" grip installed. If I knew how to do this, I'd do it myself, but I don't, so I'll pay to have it done. Can someone PM me to discuss this please? I'm wanting to do this as I want the Falcon for my creek rod and the St. Croix for my Spook rod. I'd appreciate the contact guys. Thank you! Quote
KHL12 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I have a rod may be just what your are looking for. Several years ago I had Rich Forhan build me a rod I was going to use for skipping docks. I paired with with a Shimano DC reel. Try as I might, I could never get used to the DC reel so I sold it. The rod currently in my rod rack, is never used. Specs: Shikari SHX PMB704 blank. 5'3" OAL. Split cork handle. Revolover wrap. 3/8-1oz lures (I have thrown 1/4" oz with no problems. 10-30 lb line. I also have a very similar rod but 6' long. Quote
