Hello, I know this is a long shot, but I'm hoping that one of you may have seen both of these. If not, please feel free to answer question 2. I purchased this real seat for an offshore rod: [www.getbitoutdoors.com]. Getbit does not have an aluminum gimble that looks like it will match the gold. It's a pretty dark gold color. So I was thinking of this in the calcutta gold: [www.mudhole.com].

So my two questions:
1. If you have seen both of these in person (because lighting and camera settings can make a difference) do you think they will go well together?
2. If you have not seen them, would you take a chance, or just go with a black gimble? Mudhole doesn't carry Forecast, so they can't really help.

Thanks for the help, as always!

You could look for a dealer that has both so you can have them take a look

Hi Randy,

I just went into the warehouse and grabbed the and AHD reel seat with gold and the ForeCast AG gold gimbal and took a quick photo - the golds match up well:
[www.batsonenterprises.com]

Getbit and a number of the Batson retail outlets have it in stock - unfortunately the old photo of the AG gimbal isn't a good color representation (we're re-shooting many of our products for the 2016 catalog).

Couldn't tell you if the mudhole gimbal matches.

Hope that helps,
James @ Batson Enterprises

James, thanks! I'll get that one. Yeah, the color on the website photo does not look like it would match at all.

James, I went ahead and ordered one from GetBit and it doesn't match up...both Forecast products. Is there anything you guys can do to help me? It's a little more obvious in person, but you should be able to tell from the picture. Thanks.
