I stopped at a shop on my way up into northern Michigan on Friday, and found they had a couple Aetos' clearanced for $100 from $180. Of course I bought one. I was pretty excited to get it ready to go out fishing tomorrow, but trying to put a reel on it I found a problem.
The reel seat will not tighten down to my 1st gen Revo S. The threads for the seat are 1-3/4 long, and the hood for the seat is just barely over 2" long. It's contacting the inside of the cork foregrip, and it started to separate from the locking nut. It won't even come close to tightening down to any reel I own, something is wrong with the reel seat, and I'm curious if anyone else has had or heard of this issue?
The place I bought this from is well over an hour from me, taking is back isn't really an option at the moment.
