Does adding a new reel seat to an existing rod affect the balance of the rod in any way?
By that I mean how critical is the positioning of the new(fixed)reel seat.......because once done its done for life as far as I can see!
I realise that fixing the reel to the rod(with the old style loose rings)was never an exact science but does having the new seat positioned(say)10mm either way make any difference at all to the balance(or indeed the action of the rod particularly with short though action type rods)??
Its probably all hyperthetical anyway.............
