Reel seat for Seeker 706SB options

As a bass guy i've been looking at the different seats available in the size needed for the Seeker 706sb blank. 25cm from the butt end of the rod the diameter is 18.18mm.

My question is which reel seats have you guys been using and/or what options are there?

I've seen multiple seats that run that big, but I've yet to build a rod that needed a seat that large.

In addition can a size 17 fuji acs be reamed out to fit for this blank? I've never reamed the acs seats as of yet.

Seek and you shall find!

[www.rodbuilding.org]

Rich Forhan set up delivery to Gary Klein the two samples.-

After use he selected the split version for ordering additional rods.

The large diameter of this blank make the split very comportable.

It is a 17 - cut it before your ream it to fit - If you make the cut first the back end will end up too large.

His handle rear length was 8.5 inches.

Contact me via email - click on name above - have some other information on this blank that may be helpful.
