Evolve reel seats

I was looking at some 13Fishing rods and noticed the reel seats. It was a split reel seat and it was called a evolve reel seat. Where can these reel seats be purchased?

Not much to go on, as you didn't mention style or rod model. That said the one 13 I saw looked much like a Fuji SK2 seat with twist down locking foregrip in EVA.
Fuji site is to the left.

Spencer the reel seat I'm referring to is on a 13Fishing brand Omen Black casting rod. They list the reel seat in their specs as a Evolve hair trigger, it isn't a Fuji SK2.

I doubt you will find that exact seat for sale, but you have some options. Take a look at new Alps casting seats. They are similar, but a full seat design. You could cut that seat, use a piece of texalium fly reel insert, and the barrel of a seat with one of Batson's high end reel seat hoods to duplicate the look if you wish.

Check out Alps new seats i'm sure you could get close like Joe said. Get Bit Outdoors has them in stock I believe.
