It will be smaller so the hand sometimes fits more comfortably than if a seat is used. I have seen it done a million times with spinners but I never saw a conventional just taped on. Maybe clamped and taped but not just taped.

When you grab a spinning rod your fingers go over the reel feet but not when you grab a conventional . I wouldn't want a conventional that was taped on but I did tape a spinning reel on for many many years at one time.

Some people go in between the tape and the reel seat by using a plate seat.
