I normally use a dremel and a pair of flat screwdrivers, but I have read some guys dont trust on a dremel and use a fine/jewelry file to slowly cut the reelseat

Thank you Alex! I'll give the dremel cutter a try being careful to not cut all the way through reel seat

he gets bored easily when I work on reels or when Im working taking the guides out from a rod but gets exited when I installing guides back, he keeps an eye really close to my job as you can see, every rod I build has the QC checkout from him that or keeps busy chewing the wrapping thread, mostly the last part

That's a good helper! - john

Seems a bit suspicious of the color choice.

Or maybe wondering what you're doing with its favorite toy?

[foakes]

What a beautiful helper!

Best, Fred

He's trying to show you that the tip-top guide is out of alignment by just a little kitty-whisker.

I,m agreeing that your cat knows, Alex so when it speaks to you and you just think its a pfffe,  maybe the rod is a little wanka?
