Beautiful. But I'm curious about the 'years of research and development' part. Is there something unusual about the design?

What does the inside diameter look like where it mates to the blank? Any blank through grip options? Looks like it could be real nice on some set-ups!
Thanks for the preview Karry.

Karry,
I sure hope these are going to be at the Expo this year? Have your vendors well stocked with these babys.

Research development is the best part of our job we actually get to fish :) I think that most of you know we try and go the extra mile checking for as many details as we can like making sure the fixed hoods are tight and stay tight, the seats are comfortable and except all reel foots or as many as we can check also weight reduction as well as cosmetics. This seat has been a work in progress to say the least. We feel we have a big hit on our hands and this is why I wanted to give you all a sneak peek, we are very excited.

The inside has internal Ribbing for ensured bonding just like all of our Aluminum seats. The AT16 and AT20 do not feature blank exposed because of all the different sizes you would have to make. The AT16 does feature cushioned hoods as well for sure fit on smaller reels.

These will be available October 15 and a limited supply so place your orders with our distributors soon to make sure you are in line for them.
