On the two rods i use the most i have only one complaint......the reel seat always comes loose. I can snug it up, but before long it gets sloppy again. I can do it by just wiggling it in my hand. One rod is a tica, the other is an ugly stick. Both are fuji seats.

I know i could......

1. put duct tape around it - that would get messy after awhile.
2. Use a rubber band - i figure it would dryrot on me.
3. did a search, one thread said i could shoot epoxy into the reel seat, but that seems a bit too drastic....what do you do when you need to maintain the reel?
