I have a situation where my boo rod has rings that will not accommodate a particular reel because the reel foot is too large. Any ideas? Thanks

i had that problem and what i did was to file down the reel foot so it would fit. it was an older reel so it didnt matter if it no longer looked pristine.
Sounds like a new reel, then.
Don't want to sound smart arsie ... but ... use a different reel?
I want to use a heavier reel to balance my 8' 6 wt boo rod to prevent casting fatigue because the rod is otherwise tip heavy.
Is the seat itself cork or wood? A picture would help.
The reel seat appears to be a Bellinger DLTB 660 with a wooden insert
Not seeing it , Would it be possible to add weight to the back of the rod, say by epoxying a coin or washer to or under the butt cap.
