Hi Mike, are these the ones you are refering to [] I would ask for a clearer picture - they dont look 100 % similar to the Streamdance seats - the color is wrong and you cant see the locknuts and front retainer etc. Would be interesting to see a good close up shot of it - I've been looking for the Streamdance reelseats myself. I asked REC because it looked like something the would do - but they didnt want to answer - which is ok I guess :-) Peter Re: streamdance reel seats

These seats are proprietary for G.Loomis at the present time. You aren't likely to find those exact seats being offered to rod builders. Not just yet anyway. ....... Re: streamdance reel seats

...duuhhh.... mistake - I just found the Loomis catalog - the GLX Streamdance reel seats are black - this could be interesting - I'll shoot the seller an email and ask for a better picture. Sorry about the mistake. Peter Re: streamdance reel seats

In all likelyhood, GLoomis has an exclusive contract with the manufacturer of the Streamdance cover. I would be totally surprised if anyone truly makes and sells the authentic reel seat cover to the general public. I say cover because they look like they overlay a graphite reel seat. But I do agree that it would be a sharp enhancement to a GLoomis rod. Re: streamdance reel seats

In my opinion it's more than likely that the Streamdance reelseats are made by REC seeing that they at just about the same time introduced a similar series of spinning rod reel seats. Peter Re: streamdance reel seats

I bought one of the reel seats offered on @#$%&. I also have one of the G. Loomis Streamdance rods. The one from @#$%& is an exact copy , just a different color, and different wood insert. You might be right about REC. I haven't checked them out yet. Re: streamdance reel seats

Heck guys. All you need is the factory solid seat, drill file the thing and make your own Re: streamdance reel seats

Well I got a new picture from the seller - not much better than the others - still cant see any details. Mike - the ones on @#$%& appear to have a clear black finish - is that right ? Bill - you are right - how do you go about anodizing the thing after drilling/filing it ? I've asked around - its very expensive to have it done by a professional. Thanks Peter Re: streamdance reel seats

The ones on @#$%& are a clear black finish, and have a plain maple insert. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
