Why is a reducer called a reducer when it actually adds length to a rod?

But it does reduce the lenght when you take it off.As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible,
but P*****g everyone off is a piece of cake. -

Yeah, but before you remove it, you have to stick it on , thus adding length.

A reducer is name as it is because when inserted into the butt of the rod it reduces the butt diameter, it uses to be for the older type rods with big diameter butts, some people with small hands couldn\'t hold them when casting so they made reducers to mount there reels on.Many a true word is said in jest!Comment

u gona cast with a reducer on,ehh seen it done and not a pretty sight,its for if your casting down the but u put on the reducer and it makes it easier to reel in,started with match anglers and spread on.thats the use for the reducers
cast out down the but then put on reducer,gave there rods more hight as well.but definatly not for casting with,some anglers araldite there reducers so there permanantly fixed on,u gota watch cos in some case can split the but.
