Out of curiosity how can a reel seat be too big for a blank. I always thought it odd that people try to fit a reel seat to the blank because I am the opposite, I fit it to my hand regardless of the rod. Anything below a size 22 seat will give me wrist pain and eventually tendonitis due to having to grip around that thinner diameter. I have rods that easily fit a size 18 or smaller but still I put a 22 on them, I just build big bushings with drywall tape. Up until now I have never had a problem with this. I don't have close to the level of experience with this stuff as you so I am wondering what problems I might have in the future doing this.
