Richard;
Unless people are registered on that site all they will get is the registration page

Like Steve says, many of us can't see it. However, if you can describe what you are looking for, I can tell you how I have make them myself; and I'm a novice guy with very little special equipment to work with so I feel sure you can make pretty much whatever you want.

Sorry you can't access it ......... it's a yellow rod that they sold at the Timonium (MD) boat show last weekend ....... essentially it's a rodseat the mounts right to the blank and you are holding the naked blank and reel on the reelseat .......... now that should be sensitive ...........

tried to post a picture on the picture section of this site but it asked me for my login and password which I entered and it told me it was invalid eventhough I'm logged into this forum section ...........

The photo login is a separate animal. I got stumped on that myself a while back until TK cleared me up.

If you're not going to ICRBE, take a look at the split grips 2/3 of the way down this page --> [] Those are machined to fit the rear of a Fuji "blank exposed" trigger seat.

Thanks Mark ......... but these look like there is a front hood with a turn adjustment .............. the exposed blank ........... and a rear hood ....... and that's basically it except for a butt cap

Richard, are you talking about the E21 Carrot? Orange?

it is definitely orange .......

Richard none of this is new, in the 80s Shimano had an entire line or ods built with the reelseat built into a swelled section in the blank. They called them the SpeedMaster, BeastMaster and who knows whatMaster rods in spinning and casting. Cabelas had some also that may have been built by Shimano. Airrus rods brought it back a few years ago.

Do you mean something like this- [www.rodbuilding.org]

If so it is a Fuji ECSM seat cut up, this particular seat has been painted. There are many pictures of these type of reel seats just do a search for split reel seat. Hope that helps.
