Anthony I like the looks of the A8 seat. I'm going to have to try one myself. Thanks MB

Looks really nice and trick. Do you know how much the components for the reel seat weigh? Thanks.

Stan, never bordered to weigh the completed reel seat as the little extra weight won't be of much difference at the handle. The pictured rod is a CTS 15 -20 lb 6'6" blank anyway. I think the combination of cork and aluminum skeleton reel seat will still be lighter that wood butt handle and fore grip.
