Hi RM

You can put multiple layers of electricians tape under the foot of the reel
till you are happy with the look of things.

ps.com...
My big rod (6/7 wt Guideline Pro) has an uplocking reel seat, and over
time I've noticed that the horn in the reel sits deeper and deeper in
the top ring, making the locking ring have to reach farther and farther
up to lock down the reel. Its at the point now where I'm right at the
ends of the threads in the seat. It doesn't look like anything is
sliding around...just that the horns on the reel are settling deeper
and deeper up in the seat.

What could be causing this, and how do I repair it? I've thought of
wrapping tape around the horns on the reel, or looking for an extra
long set of horns to screw onto the reel, or adding another 'spacer
ring' above the locking ring, but these don't seem like the proper
solution.
