When I modified an old 9'6" #5-6 IM 6 blank (I shortened the butt section about 5" one foot from the "ferrule" and the tip section the same amount from the tip down) to make a longish, but light, spinning rod dedicated to pendulum casting small Mepps's for sea-run browns on my overgrown stream, I found much advise in this article:
