There is nothing like being stood by water holding a fishing rod by its reel seat and staring into the middle distance. I probably spend more time that most professional fisherman holding reel seats mainly because I am fitting them to a fishing rods, but i am still dreaming about the water.

Looks like they’d have something better than masking tape to take up that space from the reel seat to the rod. They should make carbon inserts that do that. It would transfer energy to the reel seat better you would think.
Ни че хорошего… Гора скотча и эпоксидки…. Плохие серийные сборки… Для норм пацанов так уже лет 15 не собирают
Hi Paul!
Please tell me, what collars/winding check are you using on this rod, rear and front of reel seat.
Many Thanks in Advance
