Been out of the rod building circuit for a few years. Are Wiebe reel seats still manufactured or are they out of business, love the spinning seats.
Thanks

Can you share the new name for these seats? I couldn't locate the seats in a quick review of AW's website

Thanks
Rick

I have a number of Ken's original reel seats with and without the trigger. When I put on a display of rod building supplies and demonstrated rod building at an Ed Rice International Sportsmans Expo back in the 80's I had Ken help me out. Actually he spent most of the time out on the floor of the expo promoting his products, but it was fun and I had the largest booth at the show. If I am not mistaken Allen Putnam of Landmark fame, made the metal parts, ie. the threaded barrels, nuts, and hoods for Ken. I have a bunch of those also since Allen had me test and evaluate nearly everyone of his seats. I still really like the threaded Diamond Wood reel seats he made, and we fine tuned them together. Wish they were still made.
