Fishing rod butt and reel seat assembly

A fishing butt and reel seat assembly designed for use with a fishing reel and a fishing rod blank, the fishing butt and reel seat assembly comprising:

• a rigid, one piece cylindrical shaped rod having a first end, a second end, and a main length extending between the first and second ends, the main length including a handle section and a real seat section, wherein the handle section has a first outer diameter and the reel seat section has a second outer diameter, wherein the first outer diameter is greater than the second outer diameter thereby forming a shoulder at a transition between the handle section and reel seat section, wherein the real seat section comprises:
• a non-threaded portion extending from the shoulder and an externally threaded portion extending from the non-threaded portion to the second end, wherein the non-threaded portion includes a planar region extending from the shoulder and having raised edges relative to a radial curvature of the non-threaded portion, and wherein the second end is configured to receive a fishing rod blank;
• a first annular hood including an outwardly facing slot configured to slideably engage the planar region and fixedly and non-rotatably position the first annular hood on the non-threaded portion, and an inwardly facing slot configured to receive a first leg of a fishing reel, wherein the first annular hood abuts the shoulder during use;
• a second annular hood including an inwardly facing slot configured to receive a second leg of the fishing reel;
• and
• at least one locking nut threaded onto the externally threaded portion and configured to effect snug engagement of the first and second annular hoods against the first and second legs of the fishing reel when assembled, wherein the fishing reel is fixedly and non-rotatably positioned on the one piece cylindrical shaped rod.
