A freind gave me a Falcon Original to remodel and I was wondering how to save the real seat. This is my first tear down and replace. Re: seat savage

boiling water should break it loose. Raymond Adams Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it.. Re: seat savage

Steven,
As Raymond stated, boiling water often can break the bond holding the reel seat to the rod. If the seat has a wood insert, it's not likely to be in good shape after boiling. Read other posts on the use of boiling water to remove the seat, you'll notice suggested time limits. Though most of the removals I've performed in this manner turned out fine, I did alter the blank on one fly rod. After removal of the reel seat the bottom four inches of the rod now deflects about one degree. Jeff Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
