I launched my reel with an uplock seat, too, so nothing's fersure. Have a nice double ring seat I might have to try next.
Well I finally made a decision on a reel seat and went with a Struble U17 uplocking screwlock with black hardware and walnut insert spacer. I about wore myself out making this decision and just couldnt bring myself to purcashing a slideband reel seat as nice as they are. I think my choice will match the rest of the hardware going on this rod real good ,and I sure wont have any fear of a reel coming loose when it gets fished............Ed

PS........glad that's over....now I can get on with building when all the components arrive.
gonna be a classy stick
Good choice, I chose that same reel seat in black hardware but with burl madrone insert for my Dan Craft build, sure is a classy looking seat. The pre-inletted ring I received with mine however was horribly off centered and unusable, not sure how that got past their quality control, but I can inlet my own cork ring anyways.
About time you stopped waffling !!!!
Hehehehehehehe
Mike :D
See !! Told you the walnut was a good choice .
Mike :D
Foo.......yes , not worried about inletting to the cork........piece a cake!
Yes Mike....you had said from the beginning Walnut........and I did use your suggestion in the process .......Good Job Mike..........
