    That`s my new mission maybe.
    I have Bob Meiser`s "Troutmaster Combo"
    which is a 9`3"6 wt. single handed rod that converts
    toa 12`6" Spey 5-6 wt.
    So,what happens if I attept to use this common butt...
    [there are 5 pieces-the Spey 4,ther single uses 3,they share the butt]
    for 4 wt.?
    Will this butt be to heavy?
    Is this a deal breaker?
    What do you think?

    Most of us with Meiser rods would say that Mr. Meiser knows what he is doing.

    The thing is,I have already pestered him too much.
