REC Master Series fly reel seats: how do they fit to different reels?
Posted by: Stefan Scherf (---.wsw-online.de)

Hi,
I want to order some reel seats from REC first time.
In the past sometimes I had problems that reels do not fit good to some reel seats. I have no experiences with the REC's.
Can anybody help me "how good" different reels (especially Loop Tradtional and Orvis CFO) fit to the following reel seats:
NBGB
NBGS
PLRW
LCRN
LCRNS
Unfortunately I have no chance to try them out before ordering.
Thanks for your help.
Stefan

The American Fly Fishing Trade Association set up specs the reelseats/reel feet some years ago and our sponsors follow those specs. It the reel manufacturers as I understand it that haven't got their act together and sometimes have out of spec reel feet. I'm sure Orvis isn't one of the companies with the problem. Have never owned a Loop reel, but have seen others on the water with them. REC specifically has this info on their site.
