The folks at Mudhole don't know for sure. They don't have another of this blank in stock. It was their Orvis contact who said to send it back. I'm awaiting another opinion from Orvis rod shop. I'm still hoping that someone on this site has built with this blank and can give me another opinion. If the butt diameter published by Mudhole wasn't larger than the blank I received I wouldn't be question

I agree that this is a stent for the reel seat. My query is whether or not this is the standard issue butt section for this blank. It measures smaller than the published butt diameter on Mudhole's site. I've had two conversation with Orvis personel, one of whom said it was as designed, the other said definitely not (and the he suspects this is an R&D prototype that was mistakenly shipped).

I've recently received blank for Helios 2 10 ft, 5 wt, 4 pc from Mudhole and the butt section has a short insert of smaller diameter at its base. I'm getting conflicting info from Mudhole and from different Orvis folks regarding whether this is the intended shape of the blank or a defect.
I need help from someone familiar with this blank. I can send photos via PM if that would help.
