Hello everyone, I am looking to build a 10 wt fly rod for use on the flats for permit and light tarpon. I am wanting a black seat with a blue woven graphite insert similar to the seat on the NRX line. Does anyone have any recommendations? I will be putting a Tibor Riptide on it.
Thanks for any help. Re: 10 wt reel seat

order a skeleton seat the color tube you want and arbors if needed and if your going to add a fighting butt the parts for it and build away The best day to be alive is always tomorrow !! Think out side the box when all else fails !!! Wi. Re: 10 wt reel seat

You have to have the correct size to go into the hood of the seat, and then enough wall thickness to be able to turn down to the threaded barrel ID Re: 10 wt reel seat

The size of the seat for a 10wt is not different for a freshwater rod than it is for a saltwater rod. Ron Weber Re: 10 wt reel seat

Thank you all for the discussion. Would the RA8L2 fit a 10 wt reel? Re: 10 wt reel seat
