    This is all personal preference when you come down to it. I could give you a whole list of technical reasons why I prefer downlocking over uplocking, but the true reason is that a downlocking seat makes a fly rod look like it's supposed to.

    Downlocking all the way. Wish the rod manufacturers would offer this.

    I don't think it's anything more than personal preference, but the looks of the downlocking just appeal to me more.
