I am in the process of building my 2nd rod and would like to have an acrylic reel seat on it. I don't have a lathe or a way to turn one myself and was wondering where I could get one? Would some one here be interested in turning one for me?

If you are wondering I am building another UL spinning rod from a PAC BAY 3wt blank. IT is the T2F793 blank. I would like a larger reel seat size either 17 or 18 if possible. I am not sure what color options are out there but I would like something in a blueish color. I really like the one Lance Dupre did.

You can email me or reply to this thread if you can help me out with this. Thanks again for all the help.

Mud Hole carries a wide variety of custom painted reel seats - spinning and casting, Fuji and generic.

Mudhole carries acrylic spinning reel seats (I believe Lance makes them for them) Look under Reelseats - Mudhole exclusive- on their web site

If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!!

J P Timberlake makes some really nice ones, and I know he sells them. You can probably reach him on this board, or maybe he's listed in the directory. Do a search for him, and check out his work in Rodmaker V 10 Number 4.

You may want to contact Lance directly. I think he will sell reel seat as well.

Mud Hole is a sponsor here and they do sell the seats you mention.

If you cannot find the size or style you want, look at [www.tackleworks.org] and find a builder in your area who will do this for you.

I have black custom painted Fuji size 17 seats in stock models for spinning (DPS)and casting (TCS) they are not on my website- pricing is very modest. Call or e-mail me if interested.
