Hello Everyone,
I got a new gloomis baitcaster rod as a gift, is it possible change the reel seat, or am I better off getting a different rod for center pinning?

Hi VA7DDP
It is possible. As in the other thread I have the Lamiglass and I am now in the process of changing the handle and reel seat. I have the blank stripped down will add the new cork and reel seat soon. It can be done but it does take time and patience. I am enjoying the process. If you don't have much time I would say leave the rod as is and buy another one for center pinning.
