Hey Mike - can I recommend items like having a burnishing tool on hand? What else do you think would be good? And how short of a time can a reel seat cure before using? I let them sit 24 hours myself but....

Some Recommended items to bring:

Masking tape: 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch of you can find it
Some clean - lint free rags (old, clean T-shirts work well)
Razor Blades
More Razor Blades

I will try to have the rod building shop moved to the basement by then.
seats can be set up in as little as 1 hour. we should be fine

Mike,
Not sure if I can make it yet, but I am interested in building a boat rod for livelining buckeyes in spring, maybe trolling swimmers, drifting eels on a 3 way rig with 3 oz or so. Do any of these kits fill the bill?

[TheSpecialist]

Ah WHich 1088 is better the Rainshadow or the All star?

John knowing me, and what we talked about which would be better for me and eels,and plugs up to say 2 1/2oz the 1088 or the 1089?

[JohnR]

1088 - no question

Oh - you mean All Star or Batson - Allstar is a bit stiffer, the batson will load little better on lighter plugs. I can't say this for certain as I've only gripped and set the seat on my Allstar so far. But it definitely is a stiffer blank - a little heavier - it feels like it has a thicker wall.

[mikecc]

The All Star is a faster taper which makes it stiffer.
