The current "craze" for rods is how light they are. By shortening the handle, it lightens the rod. Same with the reel seat and guides.

well from experience... if the rod handle is shorter, the wedding ring digs into the blank causing multiple scratches and dings. My current cumara is two shades of grey bc of it lol.
