That's my point exactly Jim, Any rod builder could and would do this if
asked. Kistler is not doing anything that is not the norm for a custom
builder.

Again it's all marketing hype. And Warren if your fingers cannot contact the
blank on a thru blank reelseat. Well hell son ,maybe you should look to
those stubby little fingers o o

I know the type of reel seat you're speaking of, and when I'm palming the
reel my fingers don't contact the blank (which is exposed only below the
reel) at all. My fingers are totally on the reel, with my index finger
contacting the rod in front of the reel only.

I tryed emailing you this morning. Take a peek at
this URL:

These are ice rods, and for spinning reels - but look at
the tip top of the handle - the rod projects thru it on the
top and underside, so that you can get your fingers in
contact with the rod blank. Since you are looking at
custom rods anyway, I would think that any rod maker
could do something like this for you.
