I fish the surf in south Texas. That is the first time hearing about this. I never even knew I could buy a rod like that. Down here I swim to the third sand bar. Our beaches stay shallow a long way out. But at night we dont swim out, bigger shark through. I use Van Staal reels. They last forever down here. Learn knew stuff from you alot. Thank you all ya do.

You just have to get the blank rod.

Been taping for 15 years, the van is cold on the digits. Cool to see Bill doing a vid on it

I just picked up a old school 1321m & L from a buddy I love those rods they really are great

Love that u did this .. Some of my friends think I'm nuts but I've been taping em on my whole life and I hateee with a passion having a reel seat anyway I always used electrical tape only and I reallyyy like how u use the other 2 tapes I will deff be giving it a shot thanks for the info brotha much appreciated

Great video Bill!

Another informative video. Thank You.

Awesome Bill thanks!

Nice 👍

My reel seat tends to get shifty, it’s on a Lami SS the green , VS 250 , would anyone recommend taping over the reel seat once it’s secured

Do you have to retape every outing?

Should this work for a casting/conventional reel as well? I tried it with one of my Penn Squalls and the reel seems to move alot.

this makes me feel better about taping my reel on i always have i feel like reel seats always end up being loose and wiggly

Getting very hard to grip some stuff. Lol

shit this video makes me want to cut all my reel seats off.

Fuck that, reel seat for the win.

love your channel but this is batshit crazy 😂. reel seats, boys. they work better than duct tape, i promise. once in a blue moon you might get a cheap rod with bad seat, or a reel that just doesn't want to fit, but it's almost always going to get you a better connection and will weather better than friggin duct tape
