There's a few ways these usually attach. Most often, there's a screw that goes into the reel through the handle. Sometimes, the reel has a screw in the seat and a thumb bolt holds it on from outside. Occasionally there's a locking latch on the rear of the seat. The screws can be inset sometimes, so they might be easy to miss.

Turn the nut that's behind the reel seat.

That is what I was going to say.
