I am building my first rod ever, and having a hard time trying to figure out where to put the reel seat. The rod is a 7' MH 12 to 20 line wt and will be used for worm. If you can help or need more info ask me. Thanx guys. Luis Villarreal www.bass_v_rods@yahoo.com Rio Grande City, Tx Re: reel seat

The only rule is to put it where you want!! Seriously, the great thing about a custom rod is that you get to do what YOU want! Find the handle length that is most comfortable for you (or the end user) and go for it.

Luis,
Mike is absolutely correct. One rule of thumb you can start with is to hold the blank with the butt at your elbow and the reelseat would be placed about where your hand is as you hold the blank. If that dosn't suit you just put it where you like. Just like "Outback" "no rules mate" Have fun OK! Raymond Adams Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it..
