Alternative to AERO 16 ?

I've got a few rods to build for a group fly-in trip in early summer. I was planning to use AERO 16 reel seats (love these seats!) but have discovered they're indefinitely unavailable. Don at AT was kind enough to explain they're working out some issues with the injection molds and that it could potentially be months before these seats are back in production. Sigh...
As a result, I'm looking for an alternative. One that I'm considering is the "CRB Ergonomic Palm Swell Spinning Reel Seat" (https://www.mudhole.com/CRB-Ergonomic-Palm-Swell-Spinning-Reel-Seat-PFS) but I can't visualize how this seat mates up with a grip. Does anyone have or can point me to photos of a rod built with this seat? Any other suggestions for a reel seat somewhat similar to the AERO 16? Thanks all, -Mark Re: Alternative to AERO 16 ?

What"s wrong with the Aero 17? They are more ergonomically correct. Re: Alternative to AERO 16 ?

I see in the Pacific Bay catalog a "GCP" series reel seat that looks exactly like the ATC Aero seats (all size 16). Rog Re: Alternative to AERO 16 ?

Hi Robert, thanks for the reply. Hopefully Chuck can help me out but if not maybe one of those CRB seats would work. I'm really visual.. do you know of any images/photos of builds using either of those CRB seats?
Thanks, -MH Re: Alternative to AERO 16 ?

The Pac Bay GCP is their Aero seat. The GBS has the palm hump as part of the hood and the thumb is in contact with the blank, comes in 16 and 18 mm. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
