I am looking for a reel seat for a 7-8 wt lamiglas Perigee. Anyone have any suggestions ... I would like to match the insert with the blank. ATC carries some window seats, but I am not sure that color green will work. The Perigee color is more of a dark to med olive green. Cabela's had a spin seat (woven graphite) with nice cusioned hoods, but no longer carry it. Also need cork FW grip 1 1/8 inch of good quality... who carries it.

Have you thought about a skeleton seat and then making an insert to match in your choice of wood or acrylic? Re: Reel Seat suggestion for 8wt Perigee

I have a grizzly lathe; not sure it would handle wood stock or acrylic. I was hoping to find a matching graphite insert. Dennis Scott dmsc0tt@charter.net Re: Reel Seat suggestion for 8wt Perigee

Dennis,
I have made quite a few Perigee rods and never did find an insert of any kind that matched, so I went with a close match of the thread to blank color. Sulky makes a metallic thread that works very well and I put just a hint of gold in the wraps to match the gold flakes, even the more conservative guys seem to like the wraps . I used the Struble all titanium U-22 reelseats on the heavier weight fly rods. Re: Reel Seat suggestion for 8wt Perigee

If you're looking for an all aluminum Struble seat for not much money check out the newer U15HG & U18HG. Colors available are green, blue, grey and black. Maybe the green will match your blank color.
The U18 is a slightly bigger O.D. otherwise they're the same design. Can be had for $25-$27 dollars. Very nice units. I've been very happy with the grips and cork rings from Angler's Workshop. I'm know others have nice stuff but AW has been consistently good. Re: Reel Seat suggestion for 8wt Perigee

Thanks for you suggestions. I just wished Cablea's still carried the medium dark olive deluxe spin seat that they had in the past; it was a perfect match for the Perigee. Dennis Scott dmsc0tt@charter.net Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
