I had no problem with the reel seat while testing it. This is a screw type adjustable seat and not a slide like the Shimano. The only thing I found with this reel seat that could pose a problem to some is the ridges could become discomforting. I normally wear gloves so I had no issues, and even when I didn't it felt fine. The rod it self is very nice and has a very fast action, but seams to really fit as an all round rod able to do a lot. It was amazing with metal and bucktails. It also proved great with plugs and even jigging the canal with as much as a 5oz jig head and rubber. I went with the 1325 11' foot. They only come in a two piece which I really don't mind. I little electrical tape after putting the pieces together and it eliminates all the issues of a two piece IMO. Rod retails for $555 which is up there, but so is everything else now a days it seems. Shimano/Loomis likes to start at the top and work its way down, so we shall see what there mid entry level surf rod will be like if they decide to make one. Its nice to see Loomis back on the seen. I have always been a fan and they will stay US made according to Shimano.
