The length from the end of the butt section to the middle of the reel seat if possible. I have e class golds and looking to upgrade to these but I have arms the length of a chimpanzee and find the e class are quite short and hoping these are slightly longer.

Also how are you finding them in general?
Thanks

The Tackle Box will put the reel seat wherever you want for not much more than the factory build.

Just been out and measured , 24 inches from butt cap to reel stem.

I like them tho they're not to everyone's taste. Mine are the standard TB build and although I've heard about some issues re misaligned rings etc mine have been fine. I had mine to test out against the Harrison Aviator , and surprisingly preferred the FS . Cast well , need 3 1/2 oz plus to load them. Ok to play fish on considering what they are.
Are you sure?
