Downlocking REC Reel seats

Good evening,

There is some interest for down locking reel sets for Euro Nymphing rods.

I spoke to REC's Ryan Ribeau today.
REC now has reel seats that can be converted to down locking. Look on the REC website under Down Locking Reel seats.
Call Ryan for help if needed.

Good on you Herb, I had been meaning to post a reply in the CTS Euro blank thread about this option being available, but this deserves its own topic...

Now if I could get one delivered to me... The REC website says 21 day lead time. I imagine Christmas doesn't help that, so I'm trying to be patient...

Really good basic rod building lesson in this for me, from now on I am ordering components when I order a blank, no matter how long I think the lead time is on the blank...

We were getting a lot of requests from the euro nymph market for downlocking seats that also allow fighting butt use. So, we just recently started offering this hood/trim ring option for the new Alps RA5 downlocking fly seats. [batsonenterprises.com]
