    Re: Falcon Spinning Rod...Loose reel seat (MadBass)

    yo can reglue the seat easy enough.. there are a couple of possibilities

    first try finsing an epoxy you can inject under the seat as much as you can from both ends then spin the seat to spread the glue then line it back up with the guides.

    the second and less appealing option involves the same method but adds drilling a hole in the seat and injecting more glue....

    the last option would be to rebuild the handle of the rod

    Thanks Rob!
    Managed to drill three 1/8" in the reel seat area. Done it by hand , so I wouldn't damage the rod. Injected the epoxy tonight. Thanks Again!
