glueing a reel seat

just wanna know is there a particular sort of bond for this, or what have people used for it?

Hey,
I just use layers of insulating tape on the rod butt where I want the reel seat to be fixed then wedge the reel seat over it ensuring its a tight a fit as possible.
If then you need to take it off/replace it or sell the rod you can use hot water on the reel seat and it will soften the tape up underneath and it can be slid of (with a bit of effort).

Not a permanent fix but I have used this on all my rods from light rods to ones I use for hauling weed on rough days and the reel seat doesnt slip or twist if its wedged on tight enough.

just use hot melt glue. its easy to remove with a bit of heat if you decide you wanna change where the seat it but will hold it tight for you.
youd pick up packs of 6 or 8 sticks of it in any hardwear store for €2/3
