    Shortening 110H exage to 10ft.

    So ive decided that i will shorten my 11ft exage heavy into a 10 ft or 10.5 ft exage heavy. For lbg spinning i think this could work a charm. Is there any reason why it shouldnt be done? Will i be destroying a blank? Ill be taking it off the butt end of course!
