I would say that most of the failures with reel seats failing over time is more of an issue with installation and not the product.

It is true that the faster the set, the less strong an epoxy is......but this is a fishing rod not the space shuttle.

So the process of making sure you have lots of glue between the blank and the seat is key.....scuffed up blank and seat, cleaned etc. If you take your time your not going to have a problem.
