Looks good. I did the same to an older 7ft. BPS Wally Marshall IM8 several years ago. I wanted a rod just for verticle jigging on the fishing barges.

The only regret I have from cutting the handle off is now this rod is only useful for slips and barges. I guess this gives me a reason to buy another one.

i trimmed up the back of my 8 foot pro angler, turned out great! Did alot of research before i did it. I was able to get the butt cap back on also with no problem, tell me what you think!!
