George,

As far as "originality" of a rod, I have a simple saying : "If it isn't ALL original, it isn't original at all."

Lax,
I just redid a Heddon 17 that the reel seat had melted down to nothing. I replaced it with a new modern one at the owners request. The blank only extended about 2" or less from the grip.
I used Ebony and finished with CA glue. When I drilled the insert I only drilled in the length I needed to cover the blank. Hope this helps. Oh, I've got some Ebony left over if you want to try that... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (laxdad) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/131164 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:04:33 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/131159/t/Reel-Seat-Repair-Replacement.html#reply-131159 I just redid a Heddon 17 that the reel seat had melted down to nothing.

There are no Black Beauty attributions on the rod but the spiral "Heddon" and the #17 are clear. I was looking for a 9' 6/7 wt tool for those windy days on a big river and after a session on the pond out back this rod seems to be exactly what I am looking for.
