Broken down locking reel seat question????
Posted by: Bobby Silger (---.tohcorp.com)

I have a customer that brought me a rod that has a custom made down locking reel seat on it that is broken. It is like th Struble D-2 deluxe down locking seat but there is no insert the original builder used the cork handle and just turned it down. This seat is missing the end cap that the reel foot sits in. The end of the cork handle that it was glued to is 16mm. Were can I find the parts to fix this seat? I do have a picture of this if anyone would like to see it to help. Thanks in advance. Bobby

MudHole carries them and I am sure many others. [www.mudhole.com]
If they can not sell you just the cap try there site and call customer service, or some other Suppliers on the left.

Maybe some one here has one ??

I just went and measured the retainer cap for the Struble D2 and it is 17.2 mm inside or .670 decimal inches. If you cannot find a cap with the inside diameter that is 16 mm, you may have to remove the rest of the cork that is on the rod and replace with a new reel seat.
