Reel Seat for Euro Nymph Fly Rod
Posted by: Scott DeBonis (---.central.biz.rr.com)

In search of fly rod reel seats designed for Euro nymph techniques. Long, light fly rods in the 2,3,4 weight categories. Preferably down locking seats with threaded butt ends that accommodate small fighting butts and/or weights to balance the rod. Is anyone aware of who manufactures and/or sells these seats?

I have done this on a fiberglass fly rod build and have a couple others that I am working on where I use an uplocking seat but just flip it so instead of the inlet cork ring being the backend of the grip it is at the front of the fighting butt.

I love the lightweight of the carbon fiber seats of American Tackle. Then you could just add whatever weight needed to balance it. If you want to thread it, you could always glue a threaded insert in, I have done this with good success.
