Pac Bay Minima spinning inserts

Does anyone know if any of the readily available spinning seat inserts on the market will mate up well with (any size) Pac Bay Minima spinning seats? I like the seat design and would like to build some personal ice rods with themT

Thank you!

Not sure what you have in mind to do. If you want the reel seat insert to connect the threaded barrel with the the fixed hood of the Minima seat, then I don’t think you can do it with just any size fixed hood. I have never tried doing this, but you may be able to do it using a fixed hood with a size 15mm or 15.5 mm ID. A size 16 reel seat insert should fit into both the threaded barrel and the fixed hood. Thus connecting them. Most size16 reel seat inserts are designed to fit inside a size 16 reel seat, which have an ID of about 15 - 15.5 mm. I’m pretty sure the PacBay Minima thread barrel has an ID of 15.5 mm.

I didn’t explain myself well - but yes, that’s what I’m trying to do. I think the 15.5mm ID Minima is the answer. Thanks!
