hey i found a really nice 9'6" heavy action rod for salmon fishing in the river the only problemis that its a custom rod with no reel seats in the handle. just straight cork. so i was using hose clamps to keep my reel on for a back up during steel heading. and i would really like to put reel seats in for the salmon run how can i do this? is it possible? any tips plz. thanks alot

untill you get seats you can use gorilla tape.
