Hi there bearcat,

I fool around with tackle quite a bit and have started modifying some old rods I have little use for now into ones that I can try new types of fishing with.

One way to make a rod longer than it's original length is to add a butt extension. This worked perfectly when I converted a flyrod into a noodling spinning rod. However, if you have a steelhead rod with a long foregrip you may be able to get that extra 6 to 8inches with the butt extension. Repositioning of the reel seat is not impossible, especially if it's a Fuji. Heat works! then add cork handle spacers and or rings?
