just a quick question. i am looking at a perfection reel seat to go on a catfish rod i am building for my self. they say this is a salt water reel seat sso what makes this different than other reel seats. i also noticed that it is totally round and does not have a flat section for the reel to sit. is this a good seat for a catfish rod?
