10 wt fly reel seat recommendation requested

For a planned 9 foot 10 wt saltwater travel fly rod, I'm agonizing over the reel seat. Needs to be silver color, solid reel mounting is the top priority. Will add a fighting butt. thanks,

Just make sure it has double lock rings. Most mfg state what size rods they will fit. I like the Pac Bay. Quality at a good price.

I have Pac Bay Channel Locks on both of my 8 weights and really like them.

One thing to keep in mind is that plating and salt are not always a good mixture. Anodized or titanium are a lot mor user friendly around salt water applications, As meticulous as I am in cleaning them, even some of my old Varmac seats have a small amout of pitting.

Michael -

On 9 weight and above, I really like the REC RFTS. It has a flat top so the slide band "tracks" and two lock nuts that holds bigger reels in place very nicely.
