I was wondering if anyone has made a RF lite from a size 18 TCS? Seems to me there may be to much space and it would look funny. Maybe even end up with odd edges that might be a nuisance and hurt after a while with all the space inbetween the seat and the blank it would end up with.
The point of this is I would like a reel seat that can fit a reel that needs a size 18 seat or bigger with blank through design. Am I missing something or is this RF lite 18 the only way to go. Oh. it must have trigger BTW. Thanks all! Re: RF lite size 18 seat?

To clarify the reel i have is big, the foot wont fit on a #16 or #17 reel seat. It needs to be mounted on a #18 or bigger seat but i want a blank through model seat with a trigger which i dont think is made in that size. Re: RF lite size 18 seat?

I think I understand now. Thanks
Why not make it RF lite by cutting two different reel seats? Cut the trigger off a #13 seat and the threads off an 18. You would have to build an arbor for the threaded end of course and I am assuming you could make the reel foot fit the #13 slot. Just a thought, haven't tried this myself.
