As title suggests, i was given a boat rod through the summer, a Fladen Maxximus, the rod itself is in good condition but the reel seat is in bits, the bottom part of the seat has pretty much disintigrated,
The screw bit has sheared from the metal part and the metal band has split, i can still put a reel onto the rod but its a right pain to get the reel off, a screwdriver and a hammer is the quickest and easiest way to remove the reel.
So, is there anyway of me removing the existing reel seat without me destroying the rod or am i destined to having to carry a hammer and screwdriver with me whenever i use that rod?
