this question is for daniel:-
in comparing the second section of the 12 foot iwana with the handle section of my 11 foot iwana, I notice that the 12 section is slightly longer but about the same diameters.

Daniel, do yo usee any problem with me swapping the handle and first section of a 12 foot Iwana with the handle of an 11 foot iwana and convert a 12 foot iwana it into a (nearly) 11 foot iwana?

thanks in anticipation
craig
