I've got Penn too. I love them but they do not sit well in any reel seats I've had, but well enough, just. And I've never had one drop out.

but honestly just get a new rod bag
I might just do that but these days I only do long sessions so it's no real trouble.
I do have some ptfe lubricant so will try that.

A bit of PTFE lubricant may help, but honestly just get a new rod bag. I can’t imagine the faff of having to 3 rods every time I go. Leave the leaders etc all set up, so all you need to do is clip on a rig and a lead.

My ancient holdall has reel pouches, but my Penn reels won't fit so have to take them off.

Rubbing with a pencil works on reel seats, spigots & zips

Have you ever considered just leaving them on permanently and either getting a quiver system or a holdall with reel pouches built in , my reels haven't been removed in years on any of my set ups so much easier, otherwise a tiny dap of oil will cure the problem

I've had this issue
I put on a pair of marigold gloves,which gave much more grip when trying to unscrew the reel seat / reel ..
When that's achieved ,I clean the threaded part of the reel seat ,in my case ,Century reel sears,most likely Fuji,with ,Century name om them
Then I use WURTH ,a silicone cleaner making sure all the threaded parts are free from debris ,and move freely up n down when screwing the threaded bit
It worked for me
( temperature changes over many sessions ,plus rods flexing plays its part as well,they just stiffen up ,it is what it is )

My Greys Prodigy rods have the normal screw type reel seats but they are incredibly tight to do up and then undo to get the reels off, so much so that last trip I thought I would have to leave the reel on the rod, all three are the same.
Is there anything I can do to make them easier to use?
