I am nearing the end of building my first rod and am concerned about securing the reel seat. The seat is an all aluminum one with no inserts. The seat has an I.D. of .55" and the blank has an O.D. of about .31". As a result, the two masking tape arbors are about .25" tall. Everything fits snugly but only the masking tape arbors make contact with the inside of the seat. This seems to be inherently weak. Is there anything I should do to strenghten the contact points or am I being overly cautious?
