Yeah I cut the butts off my rods because I find my guts get in the way on alot of retrieves. Especially when wearing winter jackets
Apart from the immediate effect on comfort levels - it also keeps my shoulders in better alignment on long sessions.
So I'm no stranger to sneaking a few fingers up onto the foregrip while retrieving.
But I did use the Gen Black for a few months, before cutting the butts off and found they were more tip heavy than rods I've used in the past.
I still like them alot as they are light and crisp (compared to what I've used in the past).
Ideally I'd like to have 2 fingers above the reel stem (as opposed to all 4) - but I'm learning thats very difficult to do on a 7fter without adding weight or length to the butt
