Usually a reel seat that is inserted into the cork comes with a cork ring that matches it, and is glued then shaped to fit the grip you are using. I would suggest contacting a rod building shop and tell them that you need one of those sort of rings. I bet they can find one for you. We have a local rod shop in the Seattle area that could probably set you up, as they aren't the cleanest shop around, but one of those that probably has enough junk stuff to help you out: www.gregscustomrods.com. Outside of that, you could probably get some cork rings and with a cork rasp do the appropriate damage, and insert your reel seat. But I might get a few extras, as inappropriate damage may occur. -- Rob Blomquist Kirkland, WA On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section, it said 'Requires Windows 95 or better'.
