I found this cool American Tackle burl rosewood trimmed handle in a bin at a local store. Then I found through searching that it was originally part of a whole handle/seat/fighting butt system.
It's listed both at Bingham: [www.angelfire.com] And at Mudhole [www.mudhole.com] Bingham sent me some other reel seat, on further discussion AT told them they never made this part. Mudhole doesn't even know this was on their site, claiming they have no control over that page (!?) and therefore that it must not exist. I've had some pretty frustrating conversations around this. I guess at this point, I choose humor. Unfortunately, I've already designed and built the rod and have slid delivery over a month while I waited for this part. So, my questions are: 1) Does anybody have this mythical 229 AT burl rosewood fighting butt laying around? 2) Barring that, could I commission one? 3) Otherwise I will take a unicorn horn set up. jontobey@yahoo.com www.gointothelight.wordpress.com Re: NEEDED: Burl Rosewood Fighting Butt

Have you contacted AT? Those images and text are theirs, not the retailers. Re: NEEDED: Burl Rosewood Fighting Butt

I filled out their form, but as I posted, Karen from Bingham already contacted them directly and I've already waited a month to solve this problem so I'm pursuing parallel avenues.
Especially after my conversation with Mudhole. Re: NEEDED: Burl Rosewood Fighting Butt

I don't recall ever seeing burled rosewood!! It looks more like birdseye maple with a stain. Re: NEEDED: Burl Rosewood Fighting Butt

I wouldn't be surprised in the least based on this adventure so far. Re: NEEDED: Burl Rosewood Fighting Butt

I am glad you were able to find one Jon.... I am curious how those images and pictures were found... they are probably 7+ years old... _______________________________ God Bless, Don Morse 800-516-1750 ext. 1207 / don@americantackle.us Rod Building.....
