About reel seats

Hi!

I'm collecting parts for my 1st rod and i'm wondering about reel seat outside diameters.

Seat are Pac Bay's Minima casting version: [www.mudhole.com]
and
Fuji's SK2 [www.mudhole.com]

Does rear grips for Fuji fit straight to minima? Like this one: [www.mudhole.com]

Thanks

-Pekka

Ok.

Does fuji and minima have same o.d.?

pekka- i would worry more about getting the right I.D. get one a little smaller than the spot on your blank where it will be installed then ream it to fit. although i haven't used one yet the minima should come with everything you need, just don't forget to cut some threads off of the locknut barrel as it will feel better in your hand. remember sandpaper is your friend for your outside diameters either the handle or the trigger itself. hope this helps
