    Default Aluminum Reel Seat

    Can anyone out there recommend a down locking aluminum reel seat for a 4 or 5wt. fly rod? I've never used one and I figure they would be cheaper and lighter.
    Thanks

    Have you thought about a skeleton cork seat with cap and ring or dual rings?

    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.

    If you want less expensive, lighter AND better (physically) ... look no further than a Fuji graphite spinning reel seat. Other than the fact it doesn't look "traditional", you can't possible do any better.
