Hi Guys,

I was wondering if it would be possible to extend my musky rods by 4-5 inches in the butt section. I have a big dawg that I just hate but would love it if I could do that.

Could somebody refer someone in Wisconsin that can do that.
--And please no short pole jokes.

I would mail it to Thorne Brothers. Call and ask for Lonnie. All of my St. Croix rods have been extended by Thornes.
