What is a good weight range for a 9 ft 5 wt fly rod's reel seat? I would think if too heavy or light it may affect swing weight a tad. I have reel seats with inserts that weigh from 16 to 28 grams. Re: Fly rod reel seat weight?

The seat is really too low on the rod to matter much in terms of swing weight. Too close to the hand.

Thanks, I kind of thought that is the case, and the reel, backing and line on the reel is going to far outweigh a few gram delta in reel seat weight. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
