I'm glad you found it helpful. I thought it would be something that some would find very useful.
In the interest of fairness I want to metion that Tom edited the article and took out a bit of credit I gave him for the idea. Maybe he did it for space or maybe he did it because he didn't want any credit, but that credit is due. When I talked to him about this idea I wasn't sure where to get the pieces I needed to pull it off. He suggested I find pill or medicine bottles of the right size and trim them off at the neck, leaving me with the threaded section and cap. I'd just have to find the right sizes to fit the rods and butt caps I was using. But that's the tip that really got me thinking.
As we were hanging up the phone it hit me that I could use cheap reel seat parts to do the same thing. So that's how it all came together. Again I'm glad you found it helpful.
