I want to float/spin fish a left coast equivalent of a small river for steelies 5 to 20 lbs.
Serious questions:
1. I've got a G Loomis Premier PMR 1382S Noodle 11’ 6” 1/16 to ¼ lure wt rod.(I realize I could sell it but...) Would it be practical to cut the top foot off (I hate the noodle action). Besides needing to getting a new tip-top what other possible ramifications would I be getting myself into?
2. I have a 10ft 8/9 wt fast-tip mod-heavy fly rod with a short fighting butt that will accommodate a spinning reel comfortably. What are the least amounts of modifications would I need to make to use it for a float/fishing and still use it later for fly fishing.
Don't mind me---I'm from the mid-coast (Great Lakes area)
