I have been thinking about building all my bass and saltwater fly rods with Fuji reel seats...I can't seem to find these online...can you guys give me a clue about where to look? Also, do you have any experience with this? pros and cons?

Fuji DPSM or DPSSD and a Pac Bay BP16-B end plug, they also make automotive body plugs that fit if you play with the catalogs to find them. You can of course install a fighting butt and then you will need no end plug.

Fuji doesn't list them specifically as "fly reel seats" but the 16 and 17 (heavy saltwater fly) are what most people use.

Just a heads up test your reel first if you are going to try using a 16, it was too shallow for my nautilus but the 17 holds them well.

Those reel seats look great...exactly what did you use for the ones without the fighting butt and what about the ones with the fighting butt? Can you explain a little with some part numbers?

Thank you...

Fighting butts are on shortened KDPS reel seat nuts, length depends on your fighting butt length used. the rest is on my post above.
