(Lowering of the seat, replacing the cork tape, and shrink etc) Ive also worn through part of the shrink wrap grip to the blank from rubbing up against my canal bike riding a fish back to the car.... its in rough shape. You can even see where the plier marks are on the reel seat thread from trying to get it off.
I wonder which would be cheaper though? trying to get a custom replacement from st criox? or goin through a rod builder?

They must be the same reel seats then. I don't think st. croix would custom anything, just send you another factory mojo. You can strip the grip yourself to bare blank, I believe the reel seats are just glued or epoxied on, maybe a heat gun could coax it off? I would prefer no reel seat at all and just tape the bastard on. I'm sure it would be a quick remedy from a professional builder, can't imagine it costing you too much.
