basspaddler,

I spoke to a local rod builder here, he is going to make me a 5'6" M pistol grip on a G. Loomis GLX blank. He said he rarely gets a request for such and the rod is quite difficult to build(which means $$$). But heck you only live once.
The pistol grip rod is the easiest rod I build..I am constantly building 5'6" Pistols. I always have one or two up on line....I have 2 that I use for weightless top water plastics (Zulu) and hard tops (ChugBug)..
