just read this on the conoflex home page (see below), any body had problems with this happening. i realise they have to be over cautios to cover themselvs but is this a genuine worry??
CAUTION: Conoflex cannot recommend the type of sliding reel fitting that uses a single end of the reel foot as a clamp.
This design creates a local pressure point and can cause the butt to go oval, which can lead to failiure when used with the reel in the top hand.
Instead use a reel fitting with a clamp is based on a coaster or collet design.
