Try the same trick with a spool instead of reel
:-) Did that off a jetty once... Actually got the spool back
too. Scratched to heck, but it still works...

Subject: Re: Reel seats?
I have had the same experience, just never thought about it
when putting down the reasons why I prefer UL reel seats. Remember a
time years ago when the reel flipped off. Have you ever sat in a boat
retrieving 90' of line and some 250 yards of backing to get to the reel.
Took me a pretty good chunk of fishing time to get that one straightened
around. After that, when fishing with a DL Reel, I would wrap a couple
of rubber bands around the reel seat just forward of the top ring so it
couldn't move enough to lose the reel. I think I only have two rods now
with DL reel seats, and they are pretty much never fished. Thanks for
the reminder.
