Abstract
An integral butt and reel seat for an offshore trolling rod is made by swaging a unitary tubular member to form a rearwardly tapering butt section, a transition section tapering forwardly from a forward end of the butt section to a decreased diameter and a cylindrical reel seat section that extends forwardly from the transition section and has a forward end thereof threaded for reception of an adjustable threaded reel hood. A second reel hood is fixed to the reel seat section and the forward end of the tubular member is sealed by means of a plug inserted deep within the reel seat section and provided with a forwardly projecting rib that aligns a rod ferrule slidably received within the forward end of the integral member. A gimbal knock is fixed to and seals the rear end of the integral member.
