Where can I find a EXPOSED GRAPHITE REEL SEAT in size 18 and 19 ???????
17 is the biggest I can find, I find them in 18-22 but are not open/exposed on the rod blank.

Richard,

What is the diameter of the blank where you want the seat to sit?

you will probably have to cut them yourself. you can cut them on a lathe, or hacksaw, etc. make sure to square the ends up.

Rich Forhan showed how to make an exposed blank reelseat out of just about any casting seat in an earlier RodMaker article, 2 years back or so I think. I'm sure you can get a back issue from Tom one way or another.

One rod is 18mm and the other one is 19mm at the blank where the seat will go. Swimbait rods

THANKS
I would send someone two Fuji TCSD Reel seats so you could make them exposed, Name your price, if I do it I will mess up 2-3 before I get it right so I will let someone who knows how to it right and they will look nice.
