Fuji plate reel seat

[ellis995]

Hi guy's

After fishing on and off for 30+ yrs, and now having arthritis in my hands. I have started to use a Fuji plate reel seat. I was told yrs ago that you put the sliding part facing up for fixed spool reels, and sliding part facing down for multiplier reels.

Just need to know if I remembered I am right. Thanks.

Don't think it would make any difference most pre built rods both sea and coarse used to have the slider at the top.Not wanting to put you off using one but I remember fishing years ago with a friend and well known angler when the one on his rod fell apart when reeling in a fish and was left standing with the rod in one hand and the reel in the other, I know you said you had arthritis but if I was you I would maybe consider sticking to a normal wich fitting and having the reel on the rod before you leave home or have someone that's fishing with you do it.

fixed part goes to the top even the screw types are put on upside down during 60s 70s the screw went down in case you jumped the thread now the trend is screw up
