Having recently bought one of the Cortesi ones from dragoncarp, i have a bit of a problem. I attached the pin to a rod with a screw type reel seat, but there was no room between the reel and rod to put my fingers securely around the cork, the reel seemed to be in the way. I then tried using an older type rod with the sliding rings that hold the reel in place, although slightly better, i still didn,t feel like i had a firm grip on the rod. Should i be holding the rod above or below the reel? or is there another particular way of holding the rod securely? Any help greatly appreciated, thank you.
