exposed reel seat

I am ordering some exposed reel seats. Where should I measure the rod blank to determine the I.D. of the reel seat?

At the location where you intend to install the seat. Measure at the front of that area and you can gently the ream the seat just a hair for a perfect fit if needed.

Always buy on two's! Buy the one you think fits and one smaller, then follow Tom's post if neither fit perfectly and it gives you an extra seat for next time, soon you'l have several and can keep one in stock.
