Just acquired an early Sage GFL rod (Winslow Manufacturing vintage), that's generally in terrific shape. It has a Struble U-1 reel seat, and the aluminum
cap with the threaded uplocking collar is a bit loose on the wood spacer. It will rotate off center in either direction from alignment with the retainer at
the up end in the cork, but it won't rotate all the way around, nor does it pull back much at all. It's probably just fine to use it as it is, but if
it could be re-glued fairly easily without damaging it I'd give that a try.
Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions about what (if anything) to do.
Still fiddling with gear and tying flies until the snow stops cutting into my fishing here in Montana.
