Help needed finding this reel seat

Hello,

Can anyone help ID or find this reel seat? It's similar to the Super Sticker, but it has a rubberized body that's integrated with the hood and threaded barrel. The important feature of this seat is the rubberized cork. It seems like Super Sticker uses a low grade natural cork that we're not too keen on.



Thanks in advance for your help,
Steve

Steve,
This is easy to make. Just get a standard size 16 fuji reel seat and about 4 or 5 rubberized cork rings, glue up the cork, shape it and glue it on the blank.

Take care
Roger

The rubberized cork inserts I've seen were G Loomis parts that weight about 3 times more than the Super Stinger/Wiebe cork. Super Sticker also makes a nice wood insert for their reelseat, not much different than the rubberized cork in weight.
