I am looking for reel seats for spey rods. I have compleated one rod made on a cts 12'6" skagit blank. I found that it is a great rod. I also have a fly logic 14' but I feel that the cts is far better thain the fly logic. I am planing on building an Affinty DH spey rod 14' or there about. Any help would be great. Thank you James

James,

Anglers Workshop, a sponsor, list a great selection of spey reel seats in their catalog and one their website, including specific dimensions (diameter and inside diameter measurements) in many cases. They supply Struble, Bellinger, Thomas and Thomas spey seats as well as a number of other larger seats that may suit a spey configuration. The staff were very helpful in providing further specific information when I enquired about spey reel seat dimensions recently - a high quality experience all round !
