I'm assembling components to build a 1 weight fly rod. My objective is to keep everything as light as possible and for that I intend to turn my grip and reel seat both from cork. I'm looking for 2 annodized black slide rings to complete the reel seat. I can find cap and ring hardware, jewlery grade nickel silver slide bands, complete reel seats or grip kits from our sponsors but I'm looking for just 2 black aluminum slide rings - nothing else.
Can anyone pont me in the right direction? Sam Stoner Re: Slide Bands For Lightweight Reel Seat

Thanks Spencer, I appreicate the information.
Mark, the OD of the reel seat should be +/- 5/8" (0.65) so I'm thinking the ID of the slide ring will need to be a little over 3/4" or about .80" to allow the slide band to slip over the foot of the fly reel. Sam Stoner Re: Slide Bands For Lightweight Reel Seat

Custom Tackle Supply has/had them. Ralph If at first you don't succeed, go fishing, then try, try again. Re: Slide Bands For Lightweight Reel Seat

What I bought from Custom Tackle is the Cortland cork insert reelseat & skeleton seats in black & clear aluminum. The skeleton seat is a butt disk, a pair of rings and a disk to go between the grip & insert. Inexpensive, very. But nice. I put one of mine on a 6' 6" 2wt.
