To all the expert rod builders out there, I have an honest question. I have a number of custom rods. All the rods are for conventional reels. On two I have reel seats installed and on others I have no reel seat. I use the fuji tape on seat and find it comfortable and have never had a problem with the reel moving around. I do change the location of the reel on occasion and cannot do so using a seat.
The question is -- What is the real necessity or need for a reel seat? Is there a reason why a seat is truly an advantage?
