Have you used this fore grip setup? Does it loosen the reel seat grip as you are using it? I am building a rod on a CTS ES704 blank and want get this thing spot on, first go... Maybe a big ask, but I can try.
Thanks for any input

G'day Ken

I have been using the aero reel seats and the KDPS hoods for awhile now.They are down locking and have never had a problem.I also build my own hoods so from my point of view you cannot go wrong.Also what part of Aus are you from if you don't mind me asking.

cheers

Thanks Ray,
I'm from Tamworth. I'm building this rod as a spinning rod to go with a 2500 Twinpowers to use on (hopefully) large flatties with medium to large plastics.
Regards
Braith
