Thread sealer tape that is used for copper and pvc threads. It should work but I don't know for sure.

I just realized it is the reel seat and not the threads.
I would ask Mike at M&D's.

to clarify, the seat itself on the blank is fine.......it's the reel that is comming loose after a couple casts.
mike, i think it could be a combo of both #2 and #3 will have to pay more attention next time i cast them.
i will try the teflon tape....hope it works

Teflon tape is very slippery. I've solved this problem by brushing a thin coat of clear nail polish on a section of the threads. Let it dry before using. I used two coats and it did the trick.

Against the "norm" if you have a custom built put the reel seat on so the fixed hood is to the rear. I did it once, got strange looks form some people and haven't had the reel come loose once....
