I'm glad to see you have a handle on things. (sorry).

That's punny right there...

I am going to build a couple of rods for a fundraiser. Is there a rule of thumb for reel seats?

[@fdxcustomrods]

Somewhere around 12.5" to the trigger for casting, 13 to the stem for spinning seems to be the norm for mass produced rods.
