I installed the cabelas/BPS style reel seat on my latest rod, and it is VERY sweet! It is similar to a tennessee handle, except the reel foot is inset into the cork, and it screws down around the reel foot. EXCELLENT hand contact and a very comfortable, sensitive grip. Not particularly thrilled with the looks of this seat, but the excellent grip it offers is hard to deny! Now I have two serious problems: 1. I still have not found a board sponsor that sells these seats. 2. Now all of the other rods I have built feel inferior! AAARRRGGGHHH! Thanks again for helping me find these handles.

Tony, Check the Clemens catalog page 56 on the bottom left. You will find them there. Re: EXCELLENT reel seat/ handle. Still need a sponsor supplier...

Oh, also, pg 59 of the Clemens catalog has the handle kit if you are interested. Re: EXCELLENT reel seat/ handle.

The kit on page 59 looks similar, but it is a different handle. If you look closely, the diameter of the foregrip is larger than the rest of the handle, making for a somewhat uncomfortable grip. The components on page 56 are the exact ones I'm looking for. Thanks, Ed! Sharp eyes! TH Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
