Thanks, I see what you mean.

I made two mock ups to see how my reel foot might work on a ring seat set up. I have an older Pfeluger (sp?) with an arched reel foot . It is also rounded, sort of a section of a tube which is arched. Making this foot seat well will ot be a simple as the type foot you have on your Orvis. I may have to make an insert to glue onto the reel seat tomatch the curves on my reel foot.

Thank you for your help. Great looking seat,very simple and elegant.
