Nice job Steve..... There's a lot to be said about a short rod. I personally have been subscribing to them for years. Depending on what conditions your fishing in , the "shorty" can make all the difference in the world. Most people who have not tried them would be enjoyably suprised how well they can cast for distance, and lay out a nice line presentation. Last but not least they can handle some large trout too depending on the weight rating of the rod.
I would say your customer will enjoy all of the above and be very happy!...............Ed
