Looking at reel seats with wood inserts to fit a Fiberglass rod blank having butt diameter of. 0.471. All wood inserts I have looked at (over 30) have a inside tube diameter between .312 and .380. Is it common to bore a wood insert to a limited larger size? Whey are wood insert inside diameter so small? Outside diameter of wood insert is generally .620 to .640. Re: Wood insert I.D.

Because most of their application is on smaller diameter rods. In many cases they need to be shimmed, so a larger ID would require even more shimming.
It is a response to market demand. Re: Wood insert I.D. What is the deal?

Is shimming completed by use of a inner support core? Would it be common to bore inside insert diameter to fit a rod blank with larger butt diameter than wood insert? Re: Wood insert I.D. What is the deal?

You can bore your insert but remember to keep enough wood for support (integrity).
Other way you cut your blank (length of cut = length o reel seat) and you insert and glue a lenght of thinner Blank in to support your insert. ________________________________________ @+ Eric [www.emfishing.fr] Re: Wood insert I.D. What is the deal?

That bore ID on a .640 OD should never be an issue Ron Weber Re: Wood insert I.D. What is the deal?

Shimming can be done with foam and graphite cores available or masking tape. Re: Wood insert I.D. What is the deal?

Bellinger ULS 740, or 810. Myself I'd get the 740 and ream it a bit. Re: Wood insert I.D. What is the deal?

Most likely with that butt OD it is a brand blank that is a 5wt, and a .740 or .810 size seat is really a bit too big for that build Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
