Pacbay GTF casting and G-C spinning reel seats

Hi, has anyone ever used the pacbay GTF casting and/or G-C spinning reel seats? I was wondering how the compare to the fuji TCSM and the fuji DPSM? Are they just as well made? Are they of equal quality? I would be using them on bass rods if that helps.
Thanks, James

I have used hundreds of these in multiple sizes, and have been happy with all of them, as have the customers.

I consider them the best value in reel seats. The failure rate on them has been almost zero.

Don't hesitate, they are good stuff.

Good Luck,

Marc

The major factories have all used Pac Bay products one time or another, for instance pre-Shimano G Loomis rods.

Thanks Marc, I will order a few. I was just thinking why keep paying $ 6-8 per reel seat for Fuji when I can get the pacbay ones for $3-4.

Thanks too Spencer. So, Shimano owns G-Loomis? I didn't know that. Is that why they quit selling their blanks?
