Given how frequently the reel seats come loose on the Mojo rods, you may not even have to cut it. You might be able to get the old seat off with heat. They may use 5 minute epoxy to mount them. Worth a shot before you take a hacksaw or Dremel to it.

You may have to replace the shrink wrap foregrip, too.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

thanks for the input everyone, i'll look into widening of the hood with the dremmel. might be a delicate thing (that sounds dirty)

I untimately want the thing customized cuz its beat to shiz. the whole shrink wrap on the lower blank is guna have to get replaced reguardless, due to shifting the seat local, (its way too high for me) and huge hole . any local rod builders around here known?

something clever and related to fishing

st croix has had the same problem w/ reel seats for 20 years, at least. You's think they would get on that problem.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
