My SHSS 10' rod has a 20" handle, as well, and the reel seat is centered ... but I think the 12' rod is their longest, and they're rated "Lite" in power and "Moderate" in action.
My 12' BnM Diamond Series rod only has a 14" handle and the reel seat is at the very front of the handle.
I was just going off feel. I finally remembered measured rods in my garage from BnM, Jenko, Huckabee, and Dobyn’s. They are all between 19-21” total handle length. The difference I was noticing by feel was the Huckabee rods are slightly longer behind the reel seat than the other brands.
