I have a photo of this rod only. Angler is looking to ID what kind of reel seat goes on the rod. It appears to be in near mint condition with a friction fit type of reel seat. Does anyone know what goes on here? More importantly does anyone have one that I can buy?
Thanks, Buzz PS I called St. Croix they were able to give an age of the rod but not part needed [www.rodbuilding.org] Re: looking to ID old st croix reel seat

The butt would most likely be comprised of a hickory butt fitted with a chrome over brass boat rod seat. The blank butt ferrule fits into that and screws down onto it. It was a very common arrangement for older style boat rods from the 50's, 60's and 1970's.

Tom is right. It is either a Lakeland or Varmac reel seat. Both are no longer made. Re: looking to ID old st croix reel seat

I have an old Varmac RS 2 chrome plated reel seat. It has an ID of ~20 mm, and comes with a male ferrule having an ID of 19mm. I do not have a handle for it. If you want it you can have it. Send me an email. Re: looking to ID old st croix reel seat
