Very interesting topic as well as results, and surprising. As someone who sells hundreds of reel seats a year, my analytics come in with a 70% up lock and 30% down lock sales stats
Honestly, I'm surprised that you'd be surprised by those results. The glass/grass demographic (ones who would typically prefer a downlocking seat for many of the reasons stated above--or the older demographic who grew up with downlockers as the only option) is a pretty small portion of overall flyfishers. I'm surprised that it's not more skewed towards uplocking (if we're taking the entire flyfishing population into account).
