ALPS Reel seat

Hi, first time poster, long time lurker.

Anyone know the biggest reel a size 22 ALPS centralock reel seat can accept? The rod could use a Penn or Tiagra 30 on it, but more than likely will have an Avet HX, which I know fits. It just looks a little small for a 30, and I don't have any of them close by to fit up. Any info would be appreciated.

Joe

If I am not mistaken, those reel sizes SHOULD fit. I know a Van Staal 300 size does NOT fit in any ALPS seat.

Hi Joe
They should fit. I dont have a Tiagra with me but they fit a TLD50 I have here at work and they would have to be the same size or bigger. I'm sure Bill or Karry Batson would know. You can contact them at batson@batsonenterprises.com.

Thanks for the replies guys. If a tld 50 fits, the 30's should be fine.

Billy V,
Would you please bring that Van Staal 300 with you ton the show. I will have ALL the ALPS seats and would like to look into why. I am compiling a list of what reels fit into what seats for future customer service. And maybe modifying some seats.
Thank you.

Joe,

Tyrnos 30 fits into the Tri-22 ALPS seat with plenty to spare, so can't see the Tiagra not fitting the Centralock.
