So I have taken to refinishing bamboo rods- just SB 8.5’ and HI 7.5’ models. I have found that todays reels fit just fine but I purchased some older reels- pfleugers Sal/Trout 1554 and SB#1122 that I thought would match nicely with the era of the bamboo rod. The problem is that the foot of each of the reels are not fitting the reel seat of these rods. The feet are not rounded and seem to be to big. Has anyone had this similar problem? Any resolution?

Dudley,
I was hoping to use a little extra force on it before using a little extra cash. However, after the extra force I will most likely have to use the extra cash. Here goes nothing- hammer and anvil on the vice in the garage.

Dudley,
Where are my manners? Thank you!
