Hey there DH_tubinjoe,
Does the reel just turn on the rod handle? Does the plastic reel clamp screws just work loose? Are the screws right for the clamp? Is the clamp the right sizefor the diameter of the rod handle? I assume there is no reel seat!
If none of the above is causing the problem, get some hose clamps and see if the size of the reel is just too big for the diameter of rod blank's handle.
PS Hose clamps did it for me but ya gotta position them so that they don't tear up our hands, foul line, etc.
