How come most manufacturers only offer aluminum reel seats in all silver, or all black, but not a combination of silver and black?
Most manufacturers have a gold/black combination available.
With reel manufacturers like Avet, accurate, penn customs etc. offering silver as a color option it sure would be nice to have another choice in aluminum reel seats available. Anyone else feel my pain?

you could buy two identicle seats, one silver and one black, and switch the nuts and collars ,yes?

Pac Bay has made a couple versions of silver on black reelseat frame for years.

Jess, what size ID do you require? I have a beautiful seat as you describe with a black barrel, silver hoods and nuts. ID is.899 and OAL is 5.5 " It is a perfect boat rod seat. The black Diamond wood insert is .796" Black aluminum thread with the diamond wood insert already epoxied in place as well as the rear hood. Hope this helps.

Jess, I forgot to say that this seat has the heavy duty type hoods, and was made by Allen Putnam of Landmark. Allen made many beartiful reel seats from fly to off-shore, and had me evaluate and test most if not all of them. The black diamond wood insert is very nice. I have a few more of this type, but this is the only black and silver one.

No particular immediate size needed. If aftco ,alps, Amtak would offer silver black....no worries.
But to buy a silver and a black alps size 18 for $35 a piece would blow most budgets

Stuart Industries keeps them as a stock item, and they are beautiful looking!

Must be a "Raider Fan!"

Phil...I'm a skins fan, but not a gold fan. Prefer silver, pewter, platinum, and nickel

mud hole has some black body [ alum. ] the 2 nuts to hold the reel on an the hoods are silver , I just got a size 17 in , if need be i can dig up the part number let me know if you can't find them

PS it was a channel lock I think for the reel to set down in a little bit just let me know if you can't find it will supply, Bill

Check the Merrick catalog .. they have them by Pac Bay and their own line of product

Gongrats Skins made the playoffs!

Thanks Phil....we (the DC area) are elated!. It appears PERFECTION makes a heavy duty reel seat in black and silver....may have to check that one out.

can't seem to find them(Stuart Indus.). Do you have a web address?

Harry, I think this is what you're looking for.
