Reel Seat Question, two finger rod exposure
Posted by: Greg Davis (---.proxy.aol.com)

This is only my second post, so I hope I'm doing this right.

I'm new to this, and the Phorum has been great help. Are there any casting rod seat with a double access to the blank? I have an old rod I have rewrapped several times as I truly like the feel of the two fingers on the blank. I think it's an old Star rod? Not sure.

Any help would be great, and thanks to all for the help you have been.

Greg

Swampland has a seat that is exposed from triger to the seat hood allowing for more finger contact

Greg I don't think there is one available to custom builders. As Steve said, Swampland has one with a lot of blank exposure.

The Fuji ACS seat also gives more contact area with the blank.

The Fuji ACS seat only has one access spot to the blank. However you can cut out another area to expose more blank. It's fairly easy to do, and looks really cool. I'll see if I can get some pics posted. The other option is the swampland seat which is very comfortable and well made.
