Hi, I have lurked this forum for a long time, but this is my first actual post.
I am building a shark rod that will have a Avet EXW 80 strapped to it. I have the blank a gator glass Tuna72 6'0 unlimited, but can't seem to find a reel seat or gimbal to fit. On the blank that I want to mount reel seat is measured at 1.135" and the bottom where the gimble would mount is 1 1/4". I have tried aftco, but their biggest gimbal won't fit and am not sure if the 4m reel seat will work. If any of you rod builders could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Re: Unlimited blank reel seat and gimbal help

Do unibutts add a significant amount of length? Or do they slip over the blank it's self until you hit the max diameter of the blank? Re: Unlimited blank reel seat and gimbal help

The butt ferrules are about 2 to 3 inches long depending on model so yes, they are mostly an addition to the blank length. Everything from about the middle of the reel seat back, is additional length.
