Johann Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 K, Well I don't know if this is the right spot, but I couldn't find another place and didn't want to start my own topic for so small a problem. I need some advice. The problem is this - having put my fly rod away wet, the wooden reel seat has swollen about 1/16". It is a Scott rod, so the seat is fairly precise (or was) to fit the reels. I am wondering if I should start sanding away, force the reel in to push the wood back, or take the darn thing back to Troutfitters. Any advice would be appreciated. andy.

Jim Fox Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Andy, take it back before you start sanding anything. Reel seats should be finished in such a way as to make swelling unlikely. On a high end rod like a Scott, you probably have a case for replacement. If they don't fix you up, find a new flyshop.
