I have seen some custom rods where there is no reel seat and the reel is either clamped and taped or taped to the blank. Aside from being able to adjust the position of the reel on the rod at any time are there any other advantages or disadvantages to tape/claming the reel on instead of having a fixed reel seat?

Would anything be different for a spinning reel versus a conventional reel?
